Defensive tackle Jon Kirksey has a grand total of four tackles in his NFL career, but big things are expected of him this year. Very big. "Kirksey is big with a capital B," says coach Dick Vermeil. "He's so big he could clog up the entire interior of the defense all by himself." Though he saw limited action last year as a rookie, the 6'4", 350-pound Kirksey should start in 1997 for the Rams, who were 20th in the NFL in rushing defense. "It's like the Packers and Gilbert Brown," Kirksey says, referring to the league's premier wide-body. "From hash to hash, he's got it. That's what they're looking for here."
