He is beauty, and he is grace. He is - Auburn's 300-pound freshman tight end. J.J. Pegues is the Tigers' super-sized skill player who has quickly become somewhat of a sensation in the college football Twittersphere. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound tight end has done a little bit of a lot so far in his first season on the Plains, serving as Auburn's Wildcat quarterback, lining up as an end-of-line blocking tight end, splitting out wide, playing on special teams and, yes, even attempting a pass. "You know, I haven't (seen anything like him)," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. "Of course, I haven't coached many 300-pound skill guys, either. He's got a special skillset. We knew that when we recruited him."

Pegues is a tight end with a lineman's size, the athleticism and fluidity of a wide receiver, and the versatility of a modern running back. It's a rare combination to witness, the kind of size and skillset that would normally garner recognition from the Piesman Trophy - an award that has recognized "linemen who do un-linemen-like things" since 2015 - and you'd be hard-pressed to come up with an adequate player comparison for Auburn's 300-pound unicorn of a player. "I really don't know who it would be, to be honest, because I've never seen an athlete his size that can move on a football field like he does - and that can do as many different things on the field as he can do," said Chris Cutcliffe, who coached Pegues at Oxford (Miss.) High. - Birmingham News
