I'd be very happy if I could C&J 1 Lasha.He weighs 2-1/2 Steves.

Probably none. Being a lineman takes a certain skill set that Lasha likely does not have. Could the skills be developed? Sure, but I doubt that an NFL team would want to invest the time and money given that there are so many college players who have developed the skill set through 4 years of college play, most likely 4 years of high school play, and probably some Pop Warner-type play.I wonder how many NFL teams have contacted him.
I could C&J , with bad form, a .82 Lasha, in 1987. Could snatch a 1.55 Steve, also bad form, BW of 240 lb.I'd be very happy if I could C&J 1 Lasha.
I have a couple cups of coffee experience in that realm. He looks like an OT to me. Fast feet and hands. Top guys make 15-18 mil a year. Scouts will occasionally look outside of college football, like with Eric Swann. Although he was not living in another country and playing a different sport when they found him.Probably none.

Where I do see a future for Lasha is Strongman. Mikhail Koklyaev has competed in powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and strongman. While he's never won a world's strongest man he has had respectable finishes in several contests.
I appreciate your perspective. Along with living in another country, I don't believe Lasha speaks any English, so you've got the language barrier to deal with. He probably doesn't even know the rules of American football. I could see him getting called for holding and blocking in the back just from lack of knowledge and experience. I agree that Lasha has the raw skills to be an OT but I would just be very surprised if any NFL team would be willing to take the time and spend the money to get him to a basic level of football knowledge.I have a couple cups of coffee experience in that realm.

Agreed, although the NBA will spend some dollars from time to time looking for raw height talent.I appreciate your perspective.

Manute Bol hot streak, a classic.Agreed, although the NBA will spend some dollars from time to time looking for raw height talent.
This post from the other side. NFL OL,DL,LB's and TE's, oly lifting only from an early age. Might be a few more Lashas out there.
