Daniel McCullers is a MASSIVE 6'7" 350+ pound Nose Tackle who deoesn't get a lot of sacks, but eats constant double teams. His main weakness seems to be learning to use more leverage more - something a good Defensive coach can teach easily. I saw an interview where he said he learned to not be so violent and aggressive because he was always a big dude and afraid of hurting somebody if his temper got the better of him. His pre-combine weight was reported to be between 377-400+ puunds, but showed up at 350+ pounds for the Senior Bowl. Dee Ford seems to have been the biggest beneficiary with his presence along the line in that game.He's mostly projected to be a 3rd rounder. Scouting report from NFL.com below.OVERVIEWNicknamed "Shade Tree." Transferred to Tennessee after two seasons at Georgia Military College (2010-11), where he weighed nearly 400 pounds before arrival on campus. Had a blocked kick in both 2012 and 2013. 2013: Started all 12 games. 2012: Played in 12 games and started seven.ANALYSISSTRENGTHS Looks every bit the part with a relatively lean build for a 350-pounder -- carries his weight well with some muscle definition and good overall body thickness. Rare size with vines for arms, an enormous wingspan and exceptional mass to occupy space and hold up multiple blockers -- has clear two-gap potential. Can overpower zone blockers with sheer size. Very durable and has not missed any games to injury throughout his career.WEAKNESSES Duck-footed short-stepper with limited play range -- does not make plays outside the box. Lets his pads rise (first move is up), gets outleveraged and does not hold his ground as well as a man his size should. Gets turned out of the hole and sealed. Average body power to roll his hips and generate torque. Limited pass-rush potential (confirmed by 1.5 career sacks) -- is late off the ball, does not collapse the pocket and stays blocked too long. Must improve his hand use to disengage. Weight has fluctuated in the past -- exited high school pushing 400 pounds.DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 2-3BOTTOM LINE A big-bodied, short-area plugger with some underachiever traits, McCullers has raw tools that could become special if he learns to harness the innate strength in his body and pairs with a DL coach who can refine his mechanics.-Nolan Nawrocki http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/daniel-mccullers?id=2543754 Some other links: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000316749/article/tennessees-daniel-mccullers-in-impressive-shape-at-senior-bowl Watch him chase down the play at around 2:24 into the clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc2dzl2rE4I Here's his game tape against an Alabama Front comprising of Barrett Jones, D J Fluker and Chance Warmack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuFq87B0RNs
