Is this the biggest human being that has ever played for the Colts? At 6-8 339, he has to be?

Watching the Colts Show on Colts.com, he looks enormous!

Unless I'm overlooking a camp body or something... biggest I can think of.

Zack Hicks has some great film study showing how difficult he is to get around simply because he's enormous and also a 9.9 RAS guy, so he's crazy explosive on his first step and beating guys into position. If you have that covered, the technique he can develop under Sporano could make him scary.

I think his pass pro could quickly be on par or surpass what Braden Smith has provided in recent years.

Smith was a monster in the run game, though. He played with fucking fantastic leverage and bulldozed guys. So it'll be a longer road for Travis to match that. He's got every bit the tools to kill people, though.

Zach Banner? Never panned out and was nowhere near the athlete Travis is but he was monstrous in size.

I’m definitely excited to see this Oline

Thanks, I had forgotten about Banner. Same height and had 19 lbs. on Travis, but nowhere near the same talent or athleticism.

I forget though, did ever make the active roster?

Yep - for one day.

Banner survived the final cut down day, but the Colts claimed 5 waived / released players from other teams (Kenny Moore and Pierre Desir were two of the guys claimed)...and Banner was one of the Colts waived to make room for the incoming players.

I had forgotten about Banner as well.

Tarik Glenn wasn't as tall but his weight was comparable if not more than Travis'. Pro Football Reference lists him at 6'5" w/ a playing weight of 332 lbs, but he was at 357 lbs at the combine.

Also, Matt Pryor (gah) lists as close to but not quite Travis's size, 6'7" and 332 lbs.
