He was a big talking point for WHL teams in his bantam draft year because a linebacker on skates sure looks exciting. Can’t wait to see what he becomes, he’s a helluva player.

Interesting prospect, it's either NHL or pro rasslin' for this kid. No between.

San Diego is correct, father's Samoan and mother's family is from BC which is probably why hockey.

Apparently his father was 335 lbs (152 kg) at the NFL Scouting Combine at 22 and 380 lbs (172 kg) as a pro. The current heaviest player in the NHL is Jamie Oleksiak at 256 lbs (116 kg). Dustin Byfuglien was 260 lbs (118 kg).

I saw Bfuglyien more than once coming out of the local hockey rink during summer workouts. That man was not 260 lbs.

So, when too much is just too much? Dude must accelerate like a freight train. We are used to small guys not making it because they just get tossed around in pro games, but in case he comes close to his father in size, players will just skate around him while he stands there like a giant tree.

I mean I am going to guess he is going to train specific to hockey and not to be an NFL lineman and won't play hockey at over 300 pounds lol

Some people are just built differently. I don't know how easy it will be to maintain a -60kg from someone with the same genetics as you. Then again, I'm from Europe, so I admit I know nothing about NFL linemen, their role, body complexion and diet.

People aren't just natural 300 pounders. He'll get there with either a poor diet and/or PEDs but if he's aspiring to be a hockey player he wont get there.

Byfuglien was undisciplined as far as eating goes and he reached 265lbs/120kg.
