NFL Impact: Cody is a MASSIVE piece of humanity. Despite seemingly low stats, Cody consistently took the attention of 2 or 3 blockers. Cody has a huge frame, can be disruptive, and moves well for his size. However, from an NFL perspective, the problems with "Mt Cody" start with his massive frame. Cody lacks lateral agility, has an up and down motor, and loses stamina late in games, sometimes badly. Cody cant rush the passer, and there are concerns about his ability to stay healthy once faced consistenly over a season with highly skilled, veteran NFL linemen.

He projects as an obvious NT at the next level, as there is no way he can play DT. The drafting team, while potentially getting an elite NT, is also getting a NT who can only play two downs. Current comparisons are to Shaun Rogers. I see Cody more as a Gilbert Brown type, who will battle weight and stamina problems his entire career.

From the Senior Bowl:


Scouts were disappointed with Terrence Cody's conditioning on the first day of practice at the Senior Bowl. The former Alabama defensive tackle tipped the scales at 370 pounds.

Photo above provided to us via SI linkage by Remote Controller. This is a glaring example of Cody's weight problems.
 
Something tells me this guy will have weight problems for his entire career, which will last about 3-4 years unless he lays off the double cheeseburgers. That's pathetic for an athlete to be that flabby..............
 
Cody needs to get down to 340 if he is going to last. The biggest obstacle to a successful NFL career is himself. What impresses me about him is even at 370 lbs the kid has quick feet and good agility! He pull a spin move in the Senior Bowl than some 320 lb guys would have trouble pulling off.

He can be a force at NT is he can get his weight under control. But that is a big if.
