How big was Josh Sills?
He is 147 kg (325) in weight. Even though he reportedly ran a 5.25 40 at his Pro Day and was not invited to the combine or the Reeses Senior Bowl, his explosiveness as a run blocker and his massive 6-foot-6, 322-pound frame earned him a sixth-round grade from NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein heading into the pre-draft process.
