    Re: Josh Williford

    The 1958 National championship team went undefeated. The average size for a lineman on the White Team was 6-1, 202. Billy Cannon at 6-2, 210 was bigger than all but one of his offensive linemen. The Chinese Bandit linemen averaged 6-1, 198!

    Remember when the redskins had the "hogs". They were the biggest line ever assembled at the time and I want to say their average weight was like 265 with only one guy over 300, maybe 302 or something. At some point, these guys can't get any bigger and I gotta think we're close to that point if not there already.

    Billy Cannon definitely had 2008 NFL size but judging from the Halloween run video, 1958 speed. :D

    Hearing very good things about him. He could very well end up being the steal of the class. He is a monster size wise and seems to be developing really well.

    I was in Dothan, AL with a girlfriend and saw a guy decked out in LSU gear. I went up and asked where in Louisiana he was originally from. He replied," I am from Germantown, TN." Then I asked when he went to LSU, the reply was,"I went to UT."

    It turned out to be Josh Williford's father. He is a nice guy and now a devout LSU fan. FWIW, the people that I know in Dothan think a lot of Josh.

    "..or one of these young guys like Josh Williford, who just cannot be kept out of the lineup,” - Coach Miles

    He is definitely a steal. He's huge, strong, and apparently he's learning quickly.
