Laguna McGowan is entering the NFL draft’s history being a 405 pound tight end.
According to NFL.com reported this gentle giant comes in at 6-foot-6 1/8 and he ran the 40-yard dash in 5.55 and 5.41 seconds and saying:
“He had a 24-inch vertical jump and 8-foot-2 broad jump. He did the 20-yard short shuttle in 5.47 seconds and the three-cone drill in 8.25 seconds. He also performed 30 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. For a man of this size to put up these kind of numbers is really impressive. McGowan has to be the biggest prospect we’ve ever had at a pro day. If you want to get a sense of McGowan’s athleticism, take a look at this 18-yard touchdown reception against Kansas last season.”
Pro Football Talk said:
“The heaviest player in NFL history was former Lions offensive tackle Aaron Gibson, whose listed weight got as high as 410 during his playing career. But Gibson weighed in at a svelte 386 at the 1999 Scouting Combine, so he was lighter when he entered the league than McGowan is now.
“It’s unclear, however, whether McGowan will be drafted. He played
tight end in Baylor’s gadget-filled offense, but NFL teams would likely see him more as an offensive lineman. McGowan wasn’t invited to the Combine, which suggests that most personnel people don’t see him as a big-time prospect. He’s probably a long shot to make an NFL roster, but it will be fun to see the big guy try.”
