He still has some skinny legs, but that's good to hear.

Yep, he still looks lean which I don't really like for an OT. No junk in the trunk.

He's got to become a serious member of the Donut Club!  Show the team he belongs! ;)

Dude's 6-7. Just not going to be much of a trunk for any junk.

It was just an observation on my part...  lol

Trent Williams has some skinny legs and the dude is a beast.  Same for Lane Johnson and Tyron Smith.  I don't mind having a high-cut offensive tackle in today's NFL.  I'd rather have an athletic guy with good functional strength, which O'Neill had as a rookie.

you do know the donut club is for guys that are rehabbing an injury or getting some other form of treatment?  I think its become much more,  but it was originally for guys that were hurt or injured.

Left to right: Elf, Garrett Bradbury, Brian O, Cousins, Corbin Lacina, Brett Jones maybe, and I think Josh Kline. OK, Lacina was a joke. I don't know who that is, but it looks like Lacina.

wow, now I understand why Brent Jones didn't get much of a chance at starting.  Thought that was a coach or something.

well if he plays right he would be hard to root out with his center so low to the ground,  as long as he has the strength to not get bent backwards.

Jimmy, there are rules for Donut Club! ;)  But it's no longer just for rehab guys.  It's much, much more now!
I know Jared Allen tried to get one started in Carolina.

or pushed to the ground and stepped over.  Amazing how much shorter he is.  Wonder what his arm length is? 

I imagine he could anchor well, but probably doesn't move too many 350# NTs.

Elf looks thick, Bradbury has that potential.  O'Neill looks very top heavy, like he could tip over.  Norton reminds me of that Twin's pitcher from the 80's, Keith Atherton.  Jones looks like the little brother trying to hang with the big kids and Kline looks rather like just a regular guy.

Looks like Elflein is the 34 rep guy and Bradbury the 22, but its the opposite.
