Congratulations on the gains big man.I don’t mean to change subject but I never understood the importance of vertical jumps to lineman.I understand they indicate athletic ability but I don’t see how it applies to the actual game.

You answered your own question.

Regardless of size or skill every sport wants great athletic ability. Besides if the athlete can’t play the position he wants to play, if he has great athletic ability you can move him around.
