If all it took was bulk then there would be more of them. Wilfork the guy most people point at as a successful draft pick, did not start his rookie year, so it took him a season to learn the pro game. A NT has to learn to feel the double team and hold his ground. They need to stay low, and use their hands extremely well.
Quickness alone will not work, bulk alone does not work. Quickness with low end power seems to be the trick.
