This video screams red flags to me on conditioning.

So ****ing dumb.

There’s no telling how long they had been working out before that. He was working with this guy the entire season. I highly doubt he’s out of shape.

Sometimes... depends on the day. Relying on Niang to be a starter much less our LT is not smart. I hope he competes for our RT spot but I wouldn’t be surprised if Long or Remmers beat him out. Not wise to project someone out of shape at LT that has been a RT in college to protect mahomes. Niang will be depth or RT.

You thinking you have any idea what kind of shape he’s in is hilarious.

Really... he has to squat down to rest at one point. His legs are super skinny. The coach rushing him is in better shape than him. You can see him move and he has athletic potential. Hopefully he’s gotten to work since this was made. You’ve got rose colored glasses with Niang.

Are you kidding me! Look at his body! His legs are skinny and he’s soft and super fatty. Again, the coach talking in the video has more air than Niang. He’s out of breath later in the video, and the coach isn’t. You can’t see that?

Because when a video is 15 minutes long....it means he’s only been working for 15 minutes.

****ing idiot.

Has this guy never seen a T in street clothes before?

Skinny legs/ankles is what you want to pair with the massive thighs and above. Gives you the best blend of mass and quickness of foot.

You clearly never saw Willie Roaf.

That’s true. I loved willie. I’m sure he’s an exception. I wish we could find that kind of stop gap. He was amazing.

I agree with skinny ankles. He doesn’t have massive thighs or calves. But whatever. The point was that’s it’s foolish/super risky to think Niang is gonna play LT. He’s a RT.

go look up some Niang film and tell me it doesn't look exactly like Willie Roaf.

Roaf was built just like that too.

and they move the same, that weird almost off-kilter gait.

says who, you? Why?

This idea that somebody is a RT and not a LT based on...what exactly?

He might well stay at RT. Or we might move him over. We don't know. But there's zero physical reason why we COULDN'T move him over. He has all of the physical attributes and agility skills.

Some people are 'RIGHT TACKLES' because they lack something in the skillset department that you would typically want in a LEFT TACKLE.

And some people just happened to play RIGHT TACKLE because the team already had a LEFT TACKLE and why move them?

Niang was in that spot in college. There's no reason he couldn't play left. Dude showed out against Chase Young AND Nick Bosa. I think he'd be fine.

Does this need to be explained? LT is a premier position. You put your best protector there. I don’t want to go into the season counting on Niang at LT. He’s never played LT and it’s too risky when he’s protecting Mahomes. Drafting a LT at 31 is too risky unless one of the top 3 fall, which they won’t. At minimum, Niang would need to beat out a stop gap LT that we sign and the stop gap could be depth. You don’t go into the season with Niang penciled in as the starter at LT.
