No. Too long and lean. Doesn't get low enough. He'll be a tackle if he plays.

They drafted him because of his agility. It was strictly a combine thing. They love big dudes who can slam basketballs and run fast. They figure they can teach him how to block later.

I just think underachieving was the norm under Muschamp. 6 offensive players were drafted this year on offense and we couldn't get into the top 100?

Pretty telling that part, 6 offensive players drafted and we were basically inept except the opening cupcake. No doubt underachieving and muschamp go hand in hand.

Wasn't he drafted to play guard?

No, he was drafted as a Tackle who can play all five spots on the line, according to NFL network Mike Mydock.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they could. I wouldn't actually be all that surprised to see a number of offensive players drafted from UF be serviceable in the NFL. Chump was like a dark cloud that covered the entire roster. His futility transcended the whole team.
