Timmy Horne, NT, Kansas State
Horne arrived at Kansas State after five years at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, where he earned fourth team All-Conference USA honors. He posted three tackles for loss and two sacks last season for the Wildcats but was largely under the radar until his pro day.

Horne has prototypical size (6-4, 323-pounds) for a nose tackle, and his strength (28 reps with 34 ¾-inch arms, a particularly impressive number) should help him hold the line of scrimmage well against the run. Horne's wingspan is over seven feet, and his explosiveness is evident based on his numbers in the vertical and broad jumps.

Perhaps most importantly for Horne, he plays a position of need for the Falcons' defense, with defensive coordinator Dean Pees primarily running a 3-4 scheme featuring a nose tackle in the middle. Horne's biggest competition at nose is Anthony Rush, a 6-4, 361-pounder who started six games last year after joining the Falcons mid-season.

Rush re-signed with Atlanta on a one-year deal in March and should be viewed as the favorite to start at nose tackle in 2022. However, Horne is younger, cheaper, and has intriguing traits, making him a name to watch moving forward.

Dexter needs to get his BMI down

Carrying all that non muscule weight is causing his injuries to some extent

Did you ever notice other teams like Seattle, Philly, Dallas etc dont have overweight linemen?  There is a corelation

Everyone needs to get their BMI down, since it's a BS metric.

The flaw in BMI is it fails to account for muscle weight

Why did I have THIS image when I read the title?

I would let Dex sit out the rest of the year. He deserves credit for hanging tough..unlike that tub of lard Neal "laboring" with his ankle.
