It really is not that uncommon. Ask someone who knows about physical fitness and weightlifting.
This can definitely happen but usually one is not already solid and has some flab to lose.
Not saying that was the case in yours or other weight lifters whose only goal is lifting strength, but don't think weight loss on NFL lineman is conducive for success.
What Pollack is asking is about on par with the best out there
David Bakhtiari....... 6'4" 310
Trent Williams ........6'5" 320
Ronnie Stanley.......6'6" 315
Lawremy Tunsil ....6'5" 318
Lane Johnson ......6'6" 317
Duane Brown ......6"4" 315
Andrew Whitworth 6'7" 330
Mekhi Becton ........6'7" 363
On your side of argument you would definitely have Garrett Bolles at 6"5" 300 and a few others not quite as good. Yet not many and much more on the average of what is listed which seems to the 315 range where Jonah will land with 10lbs added.
Just think what is being asked is the norm for NFL LT's and really don't think a LT in this day and age is going to be great weighing under 300lbs.
Seems Pollack does not either.

The water tastes funny when you're far from your home,
yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam.
