Tennessee NT Daniel McCullers is a massive man. He was measured in at 6-foot-6 and 348 pounds with a wing span of 88 inches. He is huge and will make everyone around him look small.
His performance during practice was not quite as impressive as his size. Here are some of the reports that have come out of the practices via twitter:
Daniel McCullers/DT/Tennessee looks awful in drills. Slow and sluggish.

Daniel McCullers has let Gabe Ikard take him out of the play multiple times. McCullers doesn't even look like he's trying.

As massive as Daniel McCullers is, he doesn't do much.

McCullers is projected to be selected in the 3rd round (via CBS Sports), but with poor performances like this, that could get pushed down to the following round or later. He is going to be a project for whoever drafts him. He has a lot of potential and has not been playing football for a long time, but teams will be looking for results.
