Dave Boling: Huge Vita Vea looks like an NFL defender in a UW jersey

Do you know how many people are 6-foot-5, 345 pounds and still quick and agile?

I don’t either, but I know they have a name for them: wealthy NFL defensive linemen.

On Wednesday morning, one of this rare breed — Vita Vea — was still in a Washington Husky football jersey as the team completed its second day of spring drills.

And rather than preparing for the upcoming NFL draft, Vea will continue to be the world’s most substantial anthropology student and scholar (3.10 GPA).

Ask Vea about his decision not to make himself available for early entry into the NFL draft, and he’ll tell you it wasn’t even a consideration.
