What is it about 6‘6“+300 LB body types more likely to play OL then DL?

Longer arms. You're able to push off the DL or DE

Leverage? Harder to move a big, heavy dude.

That argument could be better for a shorter guy, same weight.

This may have cost the Kaufusi boys 8-9 figure amounts of money.

The $ numbers game makes sense. Is that just because you need 5 OL and DL has 3 or 4?

More of a reference to being too tall for the DL imo.

OTs typically play more downs, have longer careers, and make more money.

Always the biggest mystery to me how they weren't groomed for the OL

I don't know that we've seen that it's common to play OL before DL
