Look at some of his IMG Academy and early College photos. He is much leaner & athletically built.
NFL Teams will likely have him just ease back on the weight gaining diet he was on in College and he should easily
drop down to 340 to 345 pounds.
Orlando Brown JR weighed 345 pounds at his Combine and was considered very slow dropping to round 3.
Orlando was heavily criticized and doubted before, during and after his Draft. Now he is rich.
*JC Latham should get some feed back on this weight issue before the Combine and have a Target weight for his Combine.
Let's see what he weighs at his Combine and how NFL people react to it.
I agree with you that Latham will do just fine in the NFL and play at a lighter weight than he was playing in College.
Burrow should like being Book Ended by Orlando Brown JR and JC Latham.
Correct, he made a lot of money, but guys like him that test so poorly very rarely work out at LT for even RT in the NFL.
The knock on this O-line for some time has been their lack of athleticism. If Latham tests like Brown did, he's an easy pass for me. But, who knows how he'll look when the combine rolls around. I was defnitely not impressed with his game against Michigan, so that may scar me a little.
