  Offensive Lineman | Drills & Training | Coaching Tips | Football | NFL | Pictures | Photos
The average offensive lineman in the NFL is 6'4" and 300 pounds, which means offensive linemen need to spend a lot of time in the gym pumping iron and a lot of time at buffets pushing food into their mouths!
A good offensive lineman has to memorize dozens of different offensive plays and drills and also needs to be intelligent enough to recognize the defense and react to their strategy and movements.
Most of the big plays you see on football highlights are of quarterbacks making big passes, receivers making spectacular catches or running backs weaving away from tackles for a big gain.
