Undersized and had days where his footwork was terrible. That's coachable. For someone who's tipping the scale at 350, footwork is everything.
Undersized... at 350?
He's played well thus far. At least one article I read speculated he'll eventually take the starting RT spot from Eleumenor at some point.
I've seen him do some great work on delayed blocking to let cam run or escape. Good man to have on the line, maybe a future leader tooHe has the power, length, size, and meanness to be a good lineman for a long time. There have been doubts about his speed and ability to pull and block in space, as opposed to in a tight box, so that bears watching. But he is a good interior mauler, inside run blocker, and pass protector against bull-rush type defenders, even as a rookie.
BB may have found a diamond in the sixth round rough.
How is a 350 pound guy undersized? Just curious.I assume you mean if anyone knows why he was a late round pick?

You're off here. Came in at 6'3 (75 inches), average for a G is about 6'4. His arms are almost 35 inches long too.Undersized, yes. Underweight, no.
He is 6'2 or 6'3 (depending on which scouting report you believe) with average arm span.

He definitely needs to work in Pass Protection if we want to throw it more..when our offense is like this for years i totally agree..his run blocking is nasty..i remember a scene from yesterday where the run play was already done and he ran the guy he blocked for like 6-10 yards more..I don’t see Onwenu having a very successful career in the NFL at RT. I do think he is fantastic at G and will continue to be.
He’s replacing Thuney at LG next season...Fro will backup Andrews and Elu will be a fixture at RT for years to come.
I have spoken
