Defensive lineman from Iowa State, 6'4", 325 pounds, dude.
This is a big dude.

What a nickname!
You- That is- I think you get the Last Leon vibes, you get this guy, 'cause of the nickname.

Ah, it's up there.
That's on the Mount Rushmore of nicknames.
That's amazing!
Yeah.
Big Citrus is so good.
That's so good, that's so good.
The, the reason I like this guy is, you, you got a new defensive coordinator, give him just a big- Yeah ... you know, beefy guy to, to mess around with up front, and see what you can do on defense.

Yeah.
And, and you, you, you see it, you see it at all levels.
You know, that's what the Patriots are doing right now.

Their defensive line is winning them football games.
Milton Williams, they, they, he's their big, off-season signing.
He comes in as a game changer.
Yeah.
Chase Yon's a game changer.
Like, we, you see that you can win football games if you have a great defense and a great defensive line.
I don't hate I don't, do not hate that approach at all.
