...Has 23 D-1 Offers but Has Never Played in a Game

Daniel Faalele left Australia for IMG Academy in Florida to do what he's never done before: play football - ( New Window )

He could lose 70 pounds and still be a 325-pound beast

His knees will thank him.

Yeah,

he's big and strong, but I think NFL players would run right around him.

he's 17???

What the hell? Was he bitten by a radioactive Andre the Giant?

I wonder why

Took the words right out of my mouth. He's going to have an issue with leverage.

He actually

carries his weight pretty well. Reminds me of Jon Ogden. But yeah, 400lbs isn't really healthy at any height.

If football doesn't work out

I'm sure he can find a part on Game of Thrones

Me too. That threw me.

In those clips he was getting beaten

by the quickness of other high school kids?

Football's..

Sidd Finch!

I know it says he is 395 pounds.......

Tom [Giants fan] : 5/19/2017 9:38 am : link

but he doesn't look like he is fat at all. I saw Marty say he should lose 70 pounds but I don't see where he has it to lose. Maybe 15-20 but I was expecting to see something much different than I did.

Looks more like a blown assignment then getting beaten. To be expected.

And they are not just high school kids, they are all legit D1 prospects

his affiliation with IMG.

Holy crap is he big .... and he doesn't look fat either. I thought I was going to see a stomach the size of a Volkswagen.

Can't see why he would not have a successful career in college and the NFL with coaching and work?
