Pittsburgh Draft Preview: Marcus Cannon | OL | TCU

Name: Marcus Cannon

Height: 6’6”
Weight: 358 lbs.
40 Yard Dash: 5.26
Projected Round: 1st-2nd
While Marcus Cannon played offensive tackle at Texas Christian University (TCU), he would be a much better fit inside at guard in an NFL offense, where he would be able to rely on his massive size and ridiculous strength to gain the advantage at the line of scrimmage. Whereas left on the outside in the NFL, he would surely face trouble from speed rushers off of the edge.
Cannon carries his weight very well on his behemoth-like frame, and surprisingly was regarded by TCU teammates as ‘one of the most athletic guys on the team’. That’s what we like to hear when it comes to the big men up front, after all they’re athletes as well – something that is all too often forgotten until they miss an important assignment and then it’s: “You’re supposed to be a phenomenal athlete – HOW CAN YOU SCREW THAT UP FATSO?”, or something to the effect.
