You nailed it. NT's are squatty. You need to stay low or you can't anchor against the run.

It's not a bad thing to be tall at NT, 6'3" can work as long as your center of gravity is still low. But 6'8" is just too darn tall - centers and guards will get under you and lift you out of the play.

At OT, arm length is a huge advantage to keep pass rushers at bay. That's definitely the right spot for his body type. He'll make Moses look like
