How big will NFL offensive linemen be in 20 years?
In terms of NFL, most likely bigger, linemen are getting bigger on average. No person could survive on the offensive line in major college football or NFL at 270 lbs. In college, if the spread offense gets used more and more, then smaller, coaches in that system like lighter linemen, not many over or at 300lbs in say Rich Rod's scheme.
How heavy are the football players on the offensive line?
Depending on the level you're asking about, the weight of offensive linemen can vary quite a bit. At highschool, a team with an average offensive line weight of 260 or 270 is considered enormous. That being said, highschool linemen can compete at weight as low as 180 and 200 to as high as 380. In D-1 college football, offensive linemen frequently weigh 300 pounds. 270 and 280 pounds are also somewhat common, but are generally considered a bit undersized whereas linemen weighing over 350 are pretty rare. In the NFL, an undersized lineman can be 6-3, 280 pounds. At the highest level of competition, nearly all offensive linemen weigh over 300 and stand near or above 6-5, Offensive linemen weighing over 350 pounds are becoming a common sight in the NFL.

What is the difference between a nose guard and a nose tackle?
The positions are functionally interchangable in that both positions line up "nose-to-nose" with the middle offensive lineman, the Center; the difference comes in why and how the player finds himself lined up in this manner.A normal four-man defensive line generally lines up against a normal five-man offensive line as follows ("o" = offensive linemen, including "O", the Center; "x" = defensive linemen; underscores "_" = gaps):o_o_O_o_o_x_x_x_x_That is, the defensive linemen line up in the gaps between the offensive linemen.Some run defenses call for a five-man defensive line. Adding a defensive linemen makes the number of offensive and defensive linemen the same, allowing the defensive linemen to line up directly over their offensive counterparts. The additional defensive lineman (shown as the capitalized "X" below) brought in to line up *nose*-to-nose with the Center in a five-man defensive line is properly referred to as a *NOSE GUARD*:o_o_O_o_ox_x_X_x_xWhen a defensive formation calls for a three-man defensive line, one of the DTs leaves the field, leaving one DT and two defensive ends on the defensive line:o_o_O_o_o_x_x___x_To fill the large gap, the remaining DT (see the bolded "x" below) shifts over and lines up directly over the Center to cover the territory normally covered by he and the absent DT together:o_o_O_o_o_x__x__x_A defensive *tackle* who is playing in a formation that requires him to line up *nose*-to-nose with the Center is properly referred to as a *NOSE TACKLE* for plays in which he has shifted in this manner.
