It's official: Daniel Faalele is a giant.
The Minnesota offensive tackle had his measurements taken Friday at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, and the numbers are a sight to behold:

• Height: 6-foot-8
• Weight: 384 pounds(!)
• Hand size: 11 inches
• Arm length: 35 1/8 inches
• Wingspan: 85 1/8 inches

According to the NFL Research database, which goes back to 2003, Faalele is the modern combine's heaviest player ever -- by 15 pounds. In fact, with that listed weight, he's heavier than any active player in the NFL today.

If hes very agile for his size, look out.

NFL Network draft guru Daniel Jeremiah lists Faalele as the No. 49 overall prospect in this class, calling him "a massive right tackle with surprisingly nimble feet and athleticism."

Why Australian footballers are sidestepping rugby union and league to take a punt at winning a Super Bowl

Daniel Faalele is the latest Australian to make a move into the NFL, and he's doing it by following in the large footsteps of Aussie trailblazers.

Bummer that this norm of Australian punters in college came about 20 years too late. I stunk at footy, but I could roost it enough that I think I could’ve gotten a tryout with pro-kick (or whoever does it now.)

Former Gold Coast Suns-listed player Patrick Murtagh has taken a giant step towards crossing the AFL-NFL divide - and not as a punter.

The 23-year-old former Suns Academy member has been added to the Detroit Lions’ roster after progressing through the NFL International Player Pathway (IPP) program.

He now has an opportunity to earn a spot on an NFL roster, being carried until the end of training camp, and could then be kept on the practice squad using an exemption - or elevated to the active squad and play for the NFC North side.

Perhaps most impressively Murtagh is the rare Aussie NFL convert who is not a punter, with the 196cm, 98kg former forward set to play tight end - a hybrid blocker and receiver role.

Murtagh spent three years on the Suns’ list before being delisted in 2022 and trying out for the IPP. He was also a state decathlon champion.
