SEATTLE -- Highlights of Washington's Vita Vea usually don't fit the traditional narrative of what a defensive lineman should look like. It isn't his size that catches you off guard -- although he stands a hulking 6-foot-5, 340 pounds -- it's what he does with that size that can leave you both confused and somewhat terrified.
His shoulder pads squeeze around massive shoulders sitting above arms with anaconda thickness. His belly doesn't necessarily spill over his pants, but his jersey has that Baby Gap aesthetic to it. His legs are tree trunks, and when they start churning, he transforms into a massive blur of pandemonium ready to crash into something.
