Maybe Lamar Houston would make an acceptable NT. He started Texas as a RB so he has quickness and should have leg drive, but he isn't big by today's standards.

Curley Culp
Position: DT-NT-G
Height: 6-2 Weight: 265 lbs.
But the OL back then only weighed 240's, so when Earl was 245 that was huge for a RB.
But your correct in the fact that wrestlers and martial arts guys make the best front 7 guys.
