That's not what Tank Tyler said:

Also, Tank really fits into that size bracket needed for the NT position.
Here are all the NT's in the league, and their average/stdev of height and weight. Tank fits in both. BJ Raji is actually smaller in height (but not weight) for the NT position.
Actual NT players:
| Player | Weight (pounds) | Height (Feet, Inches) |
| Total (inches) |
| Jay Alford | 304 | 6 | 3 | 75 |
| Remi Ayodele | 318 | 6 | 2 | 74 |
| Alan Branch | 332 | 6 | 5 | 77 |
| Adam Carriker | 308 | 6 | 6 | 78 |
| Kendrick Clancy | 305 | 6 | 1 | 73 |
| Barry Cofield | 306 | 6 | 4 | 76 |
| Lamar Divens | 333 | 6 | 3 | 75 |
| Fred Evans | 305 | 6 | 4 | 76 |
| Chris Hoke | 305 | 6 | 2 | 74 |
| Maake Kemoeatu | 345 | 6 | 5 | 77 |
| Scott Paxson | 292 | 6 | 4 | 76 |
| Clifton Ryan | 316 | 6 | 3 | 75 |
| Brian Schaefering | 295 | 6 | 4 | 76 |
| Isaac Sopoaga | 330 | 6 | 2 | 74 |
| Gabe Watson | 332 | 6 | 2 | 74 |
| Vince Wilfork | 325 | 6 | 2 | 74 |
| Willie Williams | 305 | 6 | 4 | 76 |
|

|
|
| Average Weight | 315.1 | Average Height | 75.3 |
|
| STDEV | 15.2 | STDEV | 1.4 |
|
Prospective NT players:
| Player | Weight (pounds) | Height (Feet, Inches) |
| Total (inches) |
| Tank Tyler | 306 | 6 | 2 | 74 |
| B.J. Raji | 323 | 6 | 1 | 73 |
| Glenn Dorsey | 297 | 6 | 1 | 73 |
Tank actually fits the mold the best out of the three. Glenn is too short and small. Raji is too short. Tank is within the weight and height.
