My optimistic heart wants to say "Hey, look at this guy signing before the majority of other 2nd round picks. He must really want to get to work!".
While my skeptical brain says his agent likely said "Hey Tubby, you better get over there and sign that deal, before that back injury flares up and they change their minds altogether"..
Referring to the young man as "tubby" seems rather crass. From what I gather, the young man has put quite a bit of work into trimming down a bit and getting himself into remarkably good shape for a gentleman his size.
I would hope that we are all enthusiastically rooting for the young man and not tearing him down as I've witnessed in reading various threads concerning him and his selection in the draft. Cheers!
