​Jordan Davis calls new Eagles fan favorite 5-foot-11 OL a ‘bowling ball of knives’ originally appeared on The Sporting News.n Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Philadelphia Eagles have some of the most interesting players in the NFL based not necessarily on their talent level, but on their profiles.Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru are players who haven’t played football before this season and have a real chance to make the 53-man roster. Jordan Mailata was in a similar boat a while ago, and is now an All-Pro offensive tackle.But new 5-foot-11 offensive lineman Willie Lampkin has become a fan favorite already, despite being a backup lineman. And as Brenden Deeg of theScore shares, Jordan Davis is apparently a big fan of Lampkin’s as well.Jordan Davis shares incredible quote on Willie Lampkin”I call him a bowling ball of knives,” Davis said of Lampkin, per Deeg. “He’s so short, so small, so stubby, but he’s so quick and powerful … for a taller guy like me, it gives me a lot of trouble. He’s a tremendous player … especially at center; he commands that line.”This is an incredible quote from Davis, as Lampkin getting called a “bowling ball of knives” is certainly one of the more interesting compliments he’ll ever receive.The 24-year-old interior offensive lineman is just 5-foot-11, 290 pounds, and is one of the smaller offensive linemen in the NFL.He was originally with the Los Angeles Rams, but Howie Roseman did what Howie Roseman does: scooping up Lampkin for free last year in a very savvy move.Based on this quote from Davis, it was clearly the right decision. Lampkin is certainly a unique player, but if there were ever a team to make an undersized center work, it would be the Eagles.MORE: Eagles might’ve already found their Lane Johnson heir after 6-foot-9 rookie Markell BellJason Kelce was 6-foot-3, 295 pounds, and was considered undersized during his career. Lampkin might be four inches shorter than Kelce, but he’s just five pounds less.Lampkin is a large lineman for his height, and while it might seem like a disadvantage, he has the ability to get leverage much more easily than some other linemen, as he’s starting from a much lower point than his competition.Eagles fans have already fallen in love with Lampkin, as the offensive lineman is proving to be a fun backup for the Eagles OL with his high-quality play this preseason and training camp.And now, Eagles fans have an incredible quote from a very good lineman who goes up against Lampkin in practice. The Eagles’ 24-year-old OL, who’s just 5-foot-11, is a “bowling ball of knives” and is not someone DL can take advantage of.More NFL news:Vikings lose Jamal Adams to brutal season-ending injuryCowboys sign 8-time Pro Bowl pass rusher, 2-time Super Bowl champion Von MillerSeahawks 2nd-round S Bud Clark gets bad news on starting job for Week 1Ja’Kobi Lane’s breakout might be real after impressive Ravens preseason debutWill George Kittle be ready for Week
