massive Tulane lineman with real developmental upside
Robert Hand is a 6-foot-6, 270-pound Tulane offensive lineman who entered college as a versatile high-school prospect and has the frame coaches love to mold into a reliable trench piece. In the 2002 season, he appeared in five games as a true freshman and graded out at 55 percent, then redshirted in 2003, suggesting a developmental path rather than an instant-star résumé. His appeal is simple: size, position flexibility, and a long-term ceiling that fits a program willing to coach up technique and strength.
