Doesn't have the sheer size and bulk

He is already maxed out when it comes to how much quality weight he can put on.

The "average" NFL offensive tackle is around 320 lbs.

He's a relatively skinny fellow, and the 300 lb weight listed is overly generous. He's much closer to 290 lbs.

There was one site that listed him at 306 lbs, but the only way that's accurate is if you add in the weight of his pads and helmet. If he were a true 306 lbs, then he would have certainly been drafted.

Keep in mind, in 2024, he was playing at 285 lbs, and he was having a lot of trouble adding weight to his frame. What we see him at now, is the result of Loren Landow's tireless work to get him into the best possible physical shape.

If his technique and athletic ability are enough to compensate for the lack of bulk, then I think he can end up having a very productive career, in a similar manner to Chris Hubbard.

Was Wagner expected to be drafted? Seems odd to forego eligibility - ndphysics - 2:55pm 4/26/26 (21) [View All]
- ND was going to move Lambert to RT & Black to LT. Wagner's choice was to transfer or declare imo. [NT] - ND521 - 12:24am 4/27/26
  - He was going to go from a two-year starter to backup? [NT] - MarkHarman - 12:37pm 4/27/26
    - Like I said except I will say only slightly overrated. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 5:31pm 4/28/26
    - It's called competition - D2 - 6:12pm 4/27/26
      - Apples vs oranges. Coogan only got starts at ND because of injuries. He wasn't going to start, - Clem - 6:16pm 4/27/26

        maybe, maybe not - D2 - 8:51pm 4/27/26
    - Don't forget team captain. Think ND521 may have been drinking when he/she posted that. [NT] - Clem - 4:45pm 4/27/26
- Didn’t he start for the whole line 3 or four seasons? [NT] - KWIRISH - 9:12pm 4/26/26
  - No. - ndunabomber - 10:25pm 4/26/26
    - good data, thanks. that is impressive, dude started for 30+ games over the past 3 years. Surprised - KWIRISH - 1:51am 4/27/26
- Most of them said 7R or UDFA - ndunabomber - 3:33pm 4/26/26
- Agreed, pretty shocking that he didn't get picked by the 4th round given his decision - Clem - 3:23pm 4/26/26
  - I thought he was highly overrated, but you would think he would go late at least. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 3:41pm 4/26/26
    - Had a very good season [LINK] - ndunabomber - 4:14pm 4/26/26
      - PFF doesn't have the cache in pro circles that some think - D2 - 3:33am 4/27/26
      - Maybe my perception of his play is wrong. The stats you present back him up. Why in the world wasn't - THEISMANCARR - 7:25pm 4/26/26
