Bears Caught Sniffing Around Potential Ozzy Trapilo Clone — And What It Means

If there is one thing we have learned about Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson in his time as a prominent coach, it’s that he loves size at the tackle position. It started with the 6’5″, 331 lbs Penei Sewell in Detroit. Then it hit another gear last spring with the 6’8″, 316 lbs Ozzy Trapilo in the 2nd round. While size isn’t the only factor in making successful NFL tackles, it does play a big role. They tend to handle power better, not being so easy to drive back and can use their extended length to wall off pass rushers.
