sounds like this kid may turn out OK ..... like the change in his approach this year .....

Get this, even at 6'4", 270lbs... Ballard still anchored his High School's 4x400 and 4x200 relay teams which qualified for the state championship meet. Crazy for a guy his size.

Just reading over his wikipedia page (I know nothing about Ballard): Christian Ballard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wonder if this is more of a techincality than anything. I don't really like him as much at DT, unless of course they plan on using him in more of a hybrid role like they did with Robison in the nickel.

Allen, K-Dub, Ballard and Robison would be a nice lineup.

Love him on the D-line.
The guy has beast potential. So much speed and dominate pass-rush potential with that line.
I mean, in this pass heavy division, this can work really well.

Allen, K-Dub, Ballard and Griffen would be even better
