He was noticeably slower and less agile last year and a large part of that was simply because he was fat.
I’m sure it also fatigued him early in games and made him less effective as the game went on.
Frankly, I thought his weight and conditioning was just as big a factor in his decline last year as his age.
It’s why I’m optimistic that if he shows up to camp in shape this year that he can squeeze one more really good year out of his body.
