Episode Details

Everybody's talking about Jackson Cantwell. And he's earned it. But Miami has a SECOND 6'8" freshman offensive lineman, and I think he's about to battle for the right guard job. Ben Congdon is 6'8", 330 pounds, and he turned 18 two months ago. Alex Mirabal found him as a high three-star at a Division V school in Zoarville, Ohio, and offered him before anybody else did Alabama came in only after he'd already committed to Miami. The consensus is that he's too tall to play inside. In a survey of 101 NFL guards, thirty-seven were 6'4" and exactly zero were 6'8". So the skepticism is fair. But here's what that take misses: Congdon is a state-placing heavyweight wrestler. And the actual reason tall guys can't play guard isn't the height — it's the stiff hips that usually come with it. Wrestlers bend. That's the entire sport. In this video: how Mirabal found him, what his wrestling background actually transfers to the interior, the two NFL comps that make the case — Georgia's Dylan Fairchild for the wrestling and Robert Gallery for the height — and my call on the Buchanan–Congdon battle at right guard. Includes his high school highlights plus recent footage from a workout with his trainer back home. The Echevarria Law Firm — proud title sponsor of Canes Pulse.
