We’ll have to run him inside from time to time as a tendency breaker if nothing else.

He’s also about the same size as Jamaal Charles was so maybe he’s tougher than you’d expect.

This is true, though I kind of question it...

Charles was 5'11" 200 and always looked 200.

This kid is 5'9" 194 and looks slimmer than Charles when he should look slightly thicker.

I think he played closer to 180 and bulked up for the combine. Now, if he can keep himself at that weight or even get up to about 205-ish before camp, that'd be great. The season will drop a guy several pounds so you really don't want him playing at 180-185 come playoffs.

Jamaal was closer to a 185 pound playing weight. Herm has said that Charles was 200lbs soaking wet.
