[Thora]

Male
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 272 lb
Body fat: 16%
Age: 23

Hand span: 9 in
Arm length: 32.5 in
40 yard dash: 4.60 s
10 yard split: 1.60 s
Vertical jump: 36 in
Broad jump: 10 ft one in (he jumped 10 ft with a 20lb weighted vest on the day before)
Bench press (225lb): 29 reps
Kick: Kicks a ball 65 yards
Throw: Not sure about this but he's a professional discus thrower so he can throw a 4.4lb discus an average of about 68 yards.
He says his ball skills are good and he's quite accurate - prior Rugby training. But this we will have to see about.

------

That's all we have right now.
We measured these at a high performance training center with the NFL rules on how they're measured.

We were thinking TE?
He's never played before and never trained for football so these stats can be improved. He's going to change his workout specifically to play this game, he'd like to join a club for fun.
He wants to read up on the position requirements in the meantime.

Wondering what others thought about a position with these stats because we're not very clued up at all. Thanks.

4.6 40 is very quick, and judging from the 225 and his other stats he seems like a bit of an animal. A lot of it is definitely the physical aspect, most of it comes from skill though. Defensive end is a possibility, a lot easier than the offensive side. TE seems possible depending on how good his routes are and how well he can catch. Not sure what country you are in, but Europe US Football is much easier than football in the US.

An athlete of that quality just has to turn up to practice and the coaching staff will fall over themselves to find a position to put them in. Outside the US, in amateur club football, he would be a top notch athlete.

Personally, I think they'd be mad to not run him both sides of the ball at DE and TE.

Are you in South Africa?

Yea from S.A but he got accepted to study both in the UK and US next year. Probably going to the US.

D-line.

O-line, his speed would be wasted, and catching the ball (tight end) takes a long time to get really good at.

D-line he can utilize strength (caging and shoving people) and his speed (pass rushing) and can bat down passes with his height.c

Defensive End.
