Daniel McCullers at Georgia Military College

Tennessee defensive tackle signee Daniel McCullers of Georgia Military College

John Palermo has coached D-linemen long enough to see just about everything. But UT's new assistant laughingly admitted he's never coached anything like Daniel McCullers.

McCullers could be an elite talent. Let's hope he runs to get in shape instead of running to the border for some tacos!

I would like to see McCullers jump into the air, do a full split and bounce back up

Mount McCullers will be a huge asset to our defense. No pun intended. Just his sheer size and strength will push the pocket back into the QB or RB and disrupt many plays. His ideal weight will probably be about 360 or 365. This will allow him to move well and not get too winded. This will be a very interesting year.

So, the obvious hope is that he can just jump over the center ala Troy Polamalu and immediately flatten the quarterback right?

According to McCullers JUCO coach he is surprisingly mobile when he 'plays at 370'. He stated in an interview that he can actually run down plays in certain situations so he is not just the 'big stopper in the middle'. I hope that coach is right when he called him a 'sack of hell' for the offense to contend with.

We must be in a parallel universe of some sort when we are talking about getting a player "down" to an ideal playing weight of around 360. That young man is huge!
He and Tiny Richardson could probably ruin the monthly profitability of a buffet restaurant in one sitting!
I am looking forward to seeing those two on the field this year.

Just think of the damage CM and AJ can do without any blockers on them because this guy is taking up 2 OL

Could let him play FB on goal line situations. Use him like the Bears used Perry back in the good old days.

Does anyone else think he looks like Finch for the movie Wildcats? On a serious note, he should be a force in the middle and will almost surely take away 2 OL to free up space for the LBs to make plays and rack up the tackle totals!

We should be able to get pressure on the QB has he will eat 2 blockers by himself.
