Solder has been consistently described as somewhat raw, but with a rare frame and rare athleticism. It got me wondering...how rare, exactly?
Here's his measurable line:
6'8.25" 319 4.96/2.87/1.72 21 32" 09'02" 4.34 7.44
I set out to find past OTs within at least shouting range of those numbers. I set some cutoffs:
height > 6'6"
40 < 5.15
10 < 1.78
VJ > 30"
BJ > 8'10"
SS < 4.55
3C < 7.70
Then I went back and looked through all OTs from the 2004 draft on. Here's the complete list of players making the cut:
Sebastian Vollmer
Jared Veldheer
IOW, Solder is indeed a VERY rare physical specimen (and in pretty nice company).
In case you're curious, other players coming pretty close:
Winston Justice
Eric Winston
Robert Gallery
Ryan Clady
William Beatty
