    He's a former Iceland professional basketball player until he hurt his knee. I wonder how he would do as a short yardage full-back, Blocking tight-end, or a nose tackle.


    Here are his stats.

    6'9"
    400 pounds
    Squat – 350 kg (770 lbs) raw[15]
    Bench press – 230 kg (510 lbs) raw
    Tire deadlift – 450 kg (994 lbs) raw with wrist straps[15]
    Deadlift – 420 kg (925.9 lbs) 4.625 cronans raw with wrist straps[16]
    Loglift – 192.5 kg (424 lbs)
    Log carry- [5 steps] 650kg (1433lbs)[17]

    He's also very mobile for his size.

    He would do horrible. There are plenty of strongmen out there. How strong would he be off gear and after a training camp? Plus the whole "learning how to play" problem.

    Moves like him? I didn't see anything above a job int he video. Read the part about knee injury again. How fast is his first three steps. Plenty of people stronger.

    All depends on his footspeed and ability to get low and get leverage. I don't think people understand just how quick and agile the average NFL OL/DLman is.
