Corbin Kaufusi the tall man (1 Viewer)

[El Caliente]

Corbin Kaufusi has something that can’t be coached, a 6’9 frame. He is a defensive end, but he isn’t afraid to move around.

Because of his size, the 6-foot-9, 280-pound Kaufusi is an intriguing prospect.
“If a team wanted me to play a different position, I think I could definitely do that for them. I could play offensive line or tight end. But I love playing defensive end,” he said. “I look at players like Calais Campbell (Jacksonville Jaguars) and Carlos Dunlap (Cincinnati Bengals). They’re able to do great things with their length and their size. They’re pretty similar to me. Defensive end is where my heart is but I’m willing to do whatever.”
Among the teams that have shown the most interest in Kaufusi include the Rams, Chargers, Browns, Eagles, Broncos, Raiders and Falcons.

What do you think we will do with him? Keep him at DE, move him to tight end, move him to DT?

He’s got to get his pads lower.
If he can get that down, he could develop into a really nice player.

All this dude gotta do is stand there with his arms up and most QBs won’t be able to see downfield

I personally think he’s a hybrid EDGE, base DE, 5T, OLB. I think his crazy height & inconsistent use of leverage could compromise his effectiveness as a full time 43 DT/NT. In my opinion, i think we should reference Indy & use Kaufusi almost exactly like they use Maugus Hunt. I think he’s a bit of a long shot, but Kaufusi has rare size & a lot of pressure ability to build on. At the very worst, i hope we’re able to stash him on the PS. 100% rooting for him.

Well, that height worked out pretty good for this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_"Too_Tall"_Jones

Probably better off converting to TE

If only it was the 1970s... Oh wait... Not really

Why does it feel like there has been someone with that same last name every draft year?

What he lacks in leverage he makes up for in arm and hand strength. If you watch his highlight clip, watch how he uses his arms. He seems strong and enough to shed blocks with his right arm while he uses his left arm and hand strength to make the tackle. He's interesting.

Not sure it’s the best thing in a sport where “low man wins” is a time tested expression.

His brother was a 3rd round draft pick in 2016

 

[Hey BAY BAY!!!]

6'9 280 good for TE not no DE unless hes standing.

If he can ever get close enough to the QB to significantly block his vision.

 

[Saint Taysom]

Line him up standing behind the NT on FG block team and tell him to jump with his hands up!

FGs beyond 45yds better get height in a hurry!

Could you imagine that Monster at TE. In the Red Zone it would simply be jump ball over and over. It's kinda sad for so many of these UDFAs and late round draft picks with the Saints. This team is loaded with talent and a lot of young talent.
