Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan - Pat Lovell-USA TODAY Sports
The defensive linemen are part of the third group of players to participate in the scouting combine, and their physical measurements were taken today.
The 2013 NFL Scouting Combine rolled on today, with the defensive linemen taking the stage for their physical measurements. Note that a large number of these players will likely end up switching positions and playing linebackers in 3-4 defenses at the next level.
A few players stand out. T.J. Barnes of Georgia Tech is an absurdly large human being, standing 6'6" and weighing 369 pounds. Devin Taylor made some heads turn, coming in at 6'7", 266 pounds, and possessing 36" long arms. Taylor will definitely get some looks from 3-4 teams hoping to convert him to end.
As for some players projected to Green Bay, we'll start with John Jenkins of Georgia. The big tackle measured in at 6'4", 359 pounds, and 34" long arms. Johnathan Hankins of Ohio State is 6'3" tall and 320, with 33" arms. Finally, Alabama's Jesse Williams weighed in similarly to Hankins, ad 6'3", 323, and 32" arms.
Do you see any big surprises that we missed?
