About this Article

There's something just not normal about Benet football this season, and it goes beyond having a 6-foot-9 offensive lineman. There's no avoiding Sean O'Mara on the football field, and for those familiar with his basketball talents in the post it's a little strange watching this particular left tackle. Not one NFL lineman stands taller than O'Mara, but there he is helping lead the Redwings in a playoff run for the ages.
