BIG MAN BRAWL – The Lineman Challenge

With so much attention placed on 7-on-7 football—a non-contact, all-passing format showcasing skill position players—the Big Dawgs up front who make those high-flying offenses possible can often get lost in the shuffle.

That’s where the BIG MAN BRAWL Lineman Challenge comes in.

This premier series of competitions is built specifically for Offensive Linemen, Defensive Linemen, and Tight Ends, giving them the spotlight they deserve through a combination of team-based and individual strength, speed, and power events.

When linemen aren’t battling in the trenches during passing competitions, they’ll square off here—competing head-to-head and team-to-team in challenges designed for the men in the trenches.

Challenge Events

Events may vary by tournament week, but staple competitions include:

• Tire Flips for Time (individual & team; tire size varies by age)

• Bench Press for Reps (weighted plates; weight varies)

Why the Lineman Challenge Matters

The BIG MAN BRAWL offers linemen more than just competition—it provides purpose, recognition, and camaraderie.

• Breaks the monotony of traditional weight training

• Builds team chemistry and accountability

• Encourages competitive fire and effort

• Gives linemen a chance to earn individual recognition

• Reinforces that games are won—and offenses thrive—in the trenches

For players who rarely receive attention unless something goes wrong, the Lineman Challenge flips the script and puts the Big Men front and center.

Let the Big Men Work.
