Okay, so I wanted to figure out who the lightest offensive tackle in the NFL is. First, I started digging around to see what the usual weight for these guys is. Turns out, they are huge! I mean, we’re talking about some seriously big dudes here.

I started my deep dive by looking at the tallest guys first, because, you know, height often goes with weight. I found that there are like 14 players who are a crazy 6’8″. But then there’s this one guy, Caleb Jones, who’s a towering 6’9″! He’s not just the tallest, but maybe one of the heaviest too, I guess.
Then, I shifted my focus to the best offensive tackles out there. I checked out some surveys and it looks like the opinions on who’s the best vary. I found a list of guys who are considered top-tier, and I started comparing their weights. It’s wild how much these guys weigh.
After that, I narrowed down my search to find the lightest among them. It wasn’t easy because they all seem to be heavy as a house! But I kept digging and found some guys who are on the lighter side for their position. I compared their weights with the average, and it was pretty interesting to see the differences.
My Findings
- Most offensive tackles are super heavy, often over 300 pounds.
- Caleb Jones, at 6’9″, might be one of the heaviest, not just the tallest.
- I found some players who are lighter than others, but still pretty heavy compared to regular folks.
So, I learned that even the “lightest” offensive tackle in the NFL is still a massive human being. It was a fun little investigation, and it really shows how these athletes are built differently!
