What can't Penn State defensive tackle Anthony Zettel do?
He's already achieved several unique feats, but there's video proof on his latest exploit. Here he is on Instagram tackling -- and bringing down -- a tree:
Interestingly enough, that might not even be the most impressive thing the all-Big Ten lineman has accomplished. According to defensive coordinator Bob Shoop and several teammates, Zettel can throw a football 70 yards and consistently drive a golf ball 300 yards. Zettel also said he can throw a fastball 90-plus mph, and he sometimes performs MMA training while blindfolded.
He's one of the Big Ten's more colorful characters -- but he also has the skill to back it up. He finished second in the conference in tackles for loss (17), behind only Ohio State's Joey Bosa last season. And he was so dominant at times that Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said, following the Knights' 13-10 loss to Penn State, that he "controlled the second half of that game."
With another offseason of training -- and tackling trees -- opposing quarterbacks couldn't be blamed if they just got a bit more nervous.
