Purdue has a 420lb Offensive Lineman

So I'm scouting the roster of Purdue. B1G country loves them some big ol' cornfed linemen, and I'm worried about a Pitt-style demolition of our front seven. By and large, not much scares me about their line, pretty comparable to ours in size for the most part, but then I stumbled across Corey Clements. Click here for his bio.

Six foot eight and tipping the scales at 420 pounds. To put that in perspective, he's the same height as Parker Osterloh but outweighs him by nearly 100 pounds. Or put another way, he outweighs Tim Settle (when Tim reported for fall camp) by sixty pounds.

He's a reserve, and I have a hard time believing with that size he maintains good technique, but good lord.

420 lbs?

I'm going to go ahead and assume his lateral movement leaves a lot to be desired.

FTFY

Oh I dunno... he gets leaning forward a bit and he could open up some huge holes to run through.

Here's the running back hurdling the line in last week's game:

I'm just going to guess a guy that size has movements my size.

haha that's truly disturbed

I would say movement period is challenged. May say he is "movement challenged" but a good placeholder~

I've done some of my best work with smoke, mirrors, and a muleta!

a guy that size can be dangerous. As in, when Dadi blows past him, he might get dizzy and fall on someone...

He is the man. Met him at Dulles Airport about a month ago with his buddy Martin. He had slimmed down a ton. I barely recognized him. Told me he was on the "tequila only diet."

Glad it worked for him, didn't work for me.

I decided to look him up and ran across this site from NFL.com.

And that site reminded me of the 400+ TE at Baylor.

Fun times.

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

Check him for a time machine. At 6'8", 420 lbs. he is ahead of his time.

The implication there would be that someone from ahead of our time used a time machine to go back in time to now, where his talents (read: humongous size) aren't fully appreciated. I think the stronger possibility is that some sort of time vortex swallowed him up, transporting him from the age of 420 pound wide receivers into a time where his only option is to be a reserve lineman in Indiana. Check him for time vortex residue I say.

Where's the guy with the "it's science" gif?

It would take you 10 minutes to run around that cat.

Big Bastard. They bumped his scholarship to cover his meal plan.

$$$ 420 BLAZE IT $$$

Every second counts

Touchdown Tech!!!

From his bio:

High School: Two-year letterwinner ... coach was Cedric Blair ... played basketball as a freshman and sophomore, until the basketball program was ceased due to him eating several of his teammates.

Personal: Given name is Corey Brent Clements ... born Oct. 15, 1991 ... majoring in sociology ... enjoys playing video games and spending time with family and brisket and chicken and pies and burgers and pretty much anything food related... are... um, are you going to finish that toaster pastry?

I may have taken some liberties with that bio.

Felt just like I was reading "Foe"rensics.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Jared Lorenzen is playing for Purdue now?

They may have a really big lineman, but do they have a Sam Rogers?

"Tyrod did it, Mikey!"

If that guy does somehow get up a head of steam, I'd be worried about him producing gravitational influence on our not as big guys.
