former Indiana defensive lineman whose value was built on size, versatility, and blue-collar development
Himes was a 6-foot-1, 293-pound DT for Indiana whose career was defined less by box-score production than by adaptability, as he moved from tight end to fullback to the defensive line and was noted for his scout-team work before a preseason-ending injury in 2013. That kind of positional flexibility and willingness to do the unglamorous work can matter to a team looking for a tough, coachable piece rather than a headline-grabber. He is best viewed as a developmental, role-based interior lineman rather than a stat-driven impact defender.[1]
