NFL Draft 2022: Daniel Faalele is huge

Daniel Faalele, a future NFL offensive fighter who played in Minnesota, is a huge human being.

Even by the standards of NFL strikers, who are typically huge human beings, Faalele’s reach stands out.

According to the NFL research departmentFaalele measures 6 feet 8 and 384 pounds at the NFL 2022 scout factory in Indianapolis.

The 22-year-old Faalele is the toughest player in the NFL Scouting Combine since 2003 – with an incredible 15 pounds. He would be the second heaviest player in NFL history, behind Char-Ron Dorsey, a former Cowboy and Texas team that once weighed 388 pounds.

However, the 384 pounds aren’t actually even close to the biggest Faalele it ever was. He told reporters earlier he weighed 426 pounds this week when he reported in Minnesota.

The Melbourne, Australia native also has a huge wingspan. In the combine, he went to lower the bench bar, but he was over the top where he had to go because his arms were so long.

“I’ve never seen that,” said a Viking coach said.

A number of recent fake projects envisioned Faalele, who started playing football only in 2016, as a choice for the first round.
