Australian NFL talent Daniel Faalele has received the tick of approval from draft experts

Towering at 203 centimetres and weighing over 170 kilograms, the Melbourne-born talent is the biggest man in the entire League.

He also wears size 18 shoes, and XXXXXXXXL-sized shirts.

The offensive lineman was selected from the University of Minnesota in the fourth round of the draft by the Baltimore Ravens.

He is set to begin his season as a backup lineman for the Ravens.

“When I took my 30 visit to the Ravens I had a really good feeling.”

Faalele says his best feature is “just how strong I am”.

“Being a bigger body, I have longer arms. So, just using those intangibles to my advantage,” he says.

Analysts are hopeful that it will take long the 22-year-old to take to the field.

Daniel Jeremiah from the NFL Network put it simply, “you’re not going to get through him, you’re going to have to get around him.”
