Chiefs Catapano Will Be Playing At 290 lbs. In 2014

SeeingRed · 02-25-2014, 08:20 PM

Came across this...

sounds good to me. With Jackson likely leaving and Cat and Bailey being our "small" lineman at 290 lbs. and 295 lbs. (both athletic and jacked with very low body fat) to play along side powerhouses Dontari Poe and Mike Devito (340 lbs and 315 lbs) thats 4 STOUT lineman to go with the other guys we have and/or add thru FA or Draft. I like it. One of our stronger areas on the team.

I hope he pans out to be our Justin Smith.

He has the frame for it. And his arms are about 34 inches, so I think this is a great move.

Kid is def a beast with a frame to fill out. I see him and Bailey possibly competing for other DE spot or maybe even smarter to leave Bailey in as every down DE and use Cat as a situational pass rusher/ 3rd down specialist. Good front 4

Catapano Will Play At 290 lbs. in 2014
By PowerFitness on Feb 25 2014, 12:55p 35

I saw rumors of Chiefs DE Mike Catapano playing OLB in 2014 and wanted to set record straight. Mike will play on the line as a 290 lbs. pass rushing monster this season, not OLB. Catapano was drafted as an OLB but switched to the line early last season and that is where he will stay. The comments about him being undersized are also inaccurate. He is currently hovering around 290 lbs. and that is where he plans to keep his weight at for next season.

Cat was drafted as a 270 lbs OLB but has since stopped dieting and has let his body comeback to a natural weight of about 285-290 lbs where he played at as a Junior in college. Although he feels it would be possible to gain weight and play in the 300 lbs range Mike feels having the same speed and explosion he had at 270 lbs. is important for pass rushing. He feels he still has that now walking around at lean 285-290 and doesn't want to gain unnecessary pounds that won't help make him more athletic. He feels good where he is at now and feels that this will be a perfect playing weight for him. Look for big things from Big Cat in 2014.

Good, that's where I would want him. No need to spend big on a FA starter or draft high on a 5-tech. Catapano gets plenty push and plays with a high motor.

Mother****erJones · 02-25-2014, 09:19 PM

I'm excited about catapano.

Jimmya · 02-25-2014, 09:20 PM

Hope it pans out!

mcaj22 · 02-25-2014, 09:31 PM

this would require our DC to actually rotate the lineman next season, lets see if he does it (he probably wont)

Pretty amazing. Didn't know shit about him last year. now watching him train, alot of respect. he looks for real.

Direckshun · 02-25-2014, 10:54 PM

I'd just like to say that I watched a lot of tape of Princeton DT Caraun Reid this week, including three games from 2012, when he was teammates with Catapano.

Watching Catapano overpower tackles off the edge was, by far, my favorite part of the tape.
