Fans and analysts are buzzing because this could lock down the run game for years. These prospects bring their raw power and girth guys over 300 pounds with quick feet and hands that shed blocks. Think Iowa State's Dominique Orange or Texas Tex Lee Hunter, who the Packers already hosted for a top 30 visit.
