EDIT - Nvm, I found it on a different link on 24/7 sports. I know we've talked about this before, but you really need to start providing links to your claims to help your arguments.
Also, the rest of the quote was, "...And calling around over the weekend, I heard it was 206. That is significant." So what it goes to show is that Daniel Jeremiah wasn't even fully right on the weight Murray was going to measure at the Combine and therefore (in my eyes at least) you can't believe 100% that Murray was playing at 190 lbs at Oklahoma when every actual listed measurement listed him at 195.
It was Peter King from PFT.
Quote:One bit of Murray news before we move on. The new Mike Mayock at NFL Network, Daniel Jeremiah—talk about big shoes to fill—told me over the weekend that he heard Murray has bulked up to 203 pounds from his OU playing weight of 190. And calling around over the weekend, I heard it was 206. That is significant. Here’s why: Talking to NFL people about Murray, as I wrote last week, there was worry that Murray had more of a Mookie Betts build in college than a Russell Wilson physique. Meaning Murray was not only small, but also slight. If Murray has spent the past five or six weeks bulking up, that would play in his favor at the combine and in completing scouting reports on a complex prospect, because teams want to see a thicker player than Murray was at OU. Theoretically, it would mean he’d be more equipped to withstand the pounding he’ll obviously have to face in the NFL.

And on Murray I'm just not big on dual threat QBs. I feel a QB of any size that attacks the line of scrimmage as a runner regularly has a better chance of injury.
