Faalele Comes in at No. 11 on Feldman's Freaks List
7/11/2019 9:57:00 AM | Football
Daniel Faalele continues to turn heads this offseason.
After being named featured in GQ Australia and Bleacher Report, the 6-9, 400-pound offensive lineman is now on Bruce Feldman's Freaks List at No. 11.
"He has 275 pounds of lean mass, which is more lean mass than most football players weigh — including most of the guys he's tasked with blocking. Faalele bench pressed 391 pounds this offseason. He hang cleans 375 and squats 570, but it's his movement at that size that is eye-opening stuff."
More eye opening numbers here.
Faalele played in 10 games in 2018 and started the final eight of the season at right tackle. He blocked for an offense that averaged 28.9 points per game, which is tied for second most in a season since 2005. Faalele also helped pave the way for Minnesota to rush for 23 touchdowns and pass for 20 touchdowns in 2018. Last season was the first time that the Gophers reached 20 rushing and passing touchdowns in the same season since 2006.
