Shawn Oakman is a potential first-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

The Baylor defensive end is one of college football's most interesting prospects for many reasons, but the disconnect between his otherworldly physique and on-field production stands out above all as he prepares for the draft. That's one of the big reasons Oakman is participating in the Senior Bowl this week, a place where a lot of different questions come up for the prospects.

While there, Oakman was asked who was the toughest player he went up against in the Big 12 in 2015. It would be natural for Oakman to select an offensive lineman as a defensive end. Instead, Oakman went with a surprising answer -- Texas running back Chris Warren:

At 6-foot-2, 232 pounds with a 10.7 100-yard dash time, the Texas freshman is a bit of a physical freak himself. The Bears saw that first hand in their regular-season finale loss against the Longhorns, when Warren rushed for 106 yards on 26 carries.

Warren was just a freshman last year, but it appears he's already earning the respect of some of the conference's best.
