Kyle Dugger did not let Ikem Ekwonu outweighing him by 100 pounds stop the Patriots safety from knocking the Panthers’ first-round pick to the ground.
In the first quarter of New England’s 20-10 preseason win over Carolina at Gillette Stadium, Ekwonu — who’s listed at 320 pounds– was going for a block on the outside before getting absolutely leveled by the 220-pound Dugger.
Ekwonu flew back about three yards.
Adrian Phillips watched the play from the sidelines and saw the whole thing play out.
“(Dugger’s) super explosive, but dude had him by 100 pounds,” Phillips told MassLive’s Chris Mason.
