To show his agility for him to get drafted.

Guys that big generally have a hard time moving.

100th anniversary All-Time Team was 6'9, 345.

It's all about the feet; guys much smaller with bad feet don't make it in the NFL.

Footwork was the first thing that came to my mind. That kind of size means nothing if he can't move.
I see a team like the Ravens drafting him

He is very powerful in the run game, while he has a harder time with quicker speed rushers from reports I’ve read. A run heavy team would be perfect for him

I think the Giants see Peart as their future RT but Faalele is the kind of "road grader" you get to play that position. I don't see it happening though — unless Peart has done something to work his way off the team.
interesting clip -

I wonder if 400 lbs is his best weight though.
