A lot of the leagues current Nose Tackles didn't come out of of college with the ideal weight to man the nose. Casey Hampton for example was 314 pounds at the combine. Vince Wilfolk was 323 and has stuck with that claim ever since (you only have to disclose injuries not actual weight). Ahtyba Rubin was 315. Ryan Picket came in at 309 now he's 340.
Adding 20 to 30 pounds is going to be a lot easier with a 6 figure salary, weight trainers, and nutrition experts working with you
Either way weight is only part of the equation. You need strength and Paea is certainly strong enough to take on double teams.
