2026 Roster Thread - Semi-Live

We shall see. Yes, we shall see.

Absolutely.

As I look closer at our own selections, Jager’s size and the way he moves so fluid at 312Lb is intriguing. At 6’4.1” he has the ability to float between 310lb-320lb area without a problem. Drilling in, his worst athletic testing grade was still was 74% (3-cone) and his overall 9.89 RAS spells untapped potential.

Jager was the #9 highest RAS score across the entire OL testing class for OT, OG, OC combined. At Center he was #2 beat out by .01 (9.90 RAS)
His overall Combine athletic testing score ranked him at #1 for Center.

He’s a little bit on the older side at 23yrs (redshirted) but also has 4 years as a starter experience across LG, C, RG. Versatility inside is his calling card Tidbit: Winner of the Paul Hornung award out of High School.

What I like is his experience playing SEC level opponents (Georgia, Tulane, Florida, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Texas etc)

I’m not too worried about the LVN vs Morgan reports while they are in shorts. No pads means there isn’t a chest plate to punch and steer.

OTAs are glorified 7 on 7. Work your steps, tune up the footwork, hit your landmarks. Violence in blocking comes later.

EXACTLY. Even if when pads go on, and LVN wins some...we still as laymen know whether that is an indictment against Morgan or proof of what LVN is becoming.

Joe thomas was giving morgan some pretty good reviews.... Hope you all are right and I'm just being overly pessimistic,based on our Oline depth troubles in the past.

I used to cringe when GB would draft and invest time developing centers who are 290s. As if 290 is small, lol. But still. Those centers are typically blocking the biggest defensive linemen. Doesn't make sense to create a scheme that plans on using our one double team option, because 1 on 1 the center would be getting blown up consistently.... Save that double team option for the tackles when we play great pass rushers, imo.

So having a guy like Burton who is legit as big and tough as those DTs and NTs .. I like very much. Get a grizzley bear to fight a grizzley bear.

I think that’s where we’re headed across the OL is size. Although oddly enough 2 of our best OL came into the NFL lighter. Corey Linsley and David Bak both came in between 295-299lb. I do believe both bulked up like 10lb/15lb though by the time they hit their peak career. Plus Linsley benched 36 reps so we was an anomoly

Bahk wasn't really "good" until like year 3 or 4 either... Got pushed around badly as a rookie, and into his 2nd year. His athletic ability is what made him an elite LT, once he bulked up, like you said.

Once he popped the ACL and lost that elite athletic edge though, he was pretty much on his way out of the league. From 1st team all pro to commentator.
