He doesn't see the prototype NT as a 5-8 400 lb. fireplug but 6-2/6-4 and 295, with good lateral quickness. Quote: "There are defensive ends who also have the attributes to play nose tackle. But there usually aren't nose tackles who have the attributes to play defensive end." Also:
One last thing: Is there anything in particular that distinguishes Alabama's 3-4? Groh: (Chuckling) Yeah, the players.

Can't remember how tall Deontre Thomas is, but at 295 and probably around 6'2, that answers the question of he is being mentioned as a NT all of a sudden.

They should bring him on as an extra "special consultant" for the defense.
