The former All-American offensive tackle looked impressive as he tossed players around at 70 pounds lighter.

He moved quicker, exploded off his feet in pass-protection drills, and displayed power in run-blocking drills. As a 330-pounder, NFL personnel believed Fluker would be back in the league. The former first-round pick of the 2013 NFL Draft is garnering interest from teams for a workout. He is expected to have a workout with a team in the coming weeks and some franchises see him as a starting tackle in the league for this fall. Fluker was a three-time BCS National Champion (2009, 2011-12) for the Tide.

It is going to be good seeing him back in the league.
