Kenny Plue of Purdue in 2012?

[bludgeon]

The guy is a beast of an offensive guard for Purdue (also scouted by Boston College out of high school), should be entering the draft in 2012, although he could enter the draft next year.
Started near 400 pounds in his freshman year, but now down to 358 according to team roster, height 6'7. Started 6 games as a true freshman, and has been starter since. Runs between a 5'16 and a 5'48 in the 40.
Kiper has him ranked 5th among guards as non-seniors. nfldraftscout has him listed 10th out of 168 guards overall. Might be a nice late-round pickup.

where is my info coming from? Here's some more on the guy:

We need a lot of help on O-Line. Both guard positions, even center if Cook doesn't pan out for us. How's this guys health? Those two knee braces don't look good.

Tough to say. Haven't seen much on him being injured, but yeah, the braces do suggest the possibility of injury. Still a solid blocker though if he is healthy.

Playing for Purdue, he must grade out good as a pass blocker.

A lot of teams make their OL wear braces to reduce knee injury possibilities.

the kid's definitely solid with pass blocking. Seems pretty willing to put effort in to improve his technique as well, which is ALWAYS good.
