I'm not sure about it, but I may actually buy into the theory that they quietly asked him to add weight last offseason and it cost him the explosiveness he showed in college. I think he may have played at 315 or 320 even though the roster said 297.
He's never been a fireplug, he's got the makings of an undertackle, a disruptive guy. I think having him take up space and occupy blockers last year was a mistake, regardless of his playing weight.
And he's already worth more than Ryan Sims ever was. We'll see what he turns into.
