He played at 283lbs last season and one of the major knocks on him was that he'd struggled to keep weight on. Now camp is always full of stories of players who completely rebuilt their body and are in the best shape of their life but this has me intrigued for the pre-season opener.
His story is an interesting one. I believe he wasn't able to play most of the year, nor work out because of contact tracing or something, and he couldn't keep the weight on. He added a little and played very well at the Senior Bowl, despite very limited action all season.
Love how dedicated he has been to the right nutrition and workouts. Coaches are raving about his coachability.
Pulling for this guy.
