I hear everybody talking about his weight issues, but IMO his weight is not that big a deal, to me it's his stamina. I don't give a dam how big he is, if he can consistently play without being pulled out after every other play, than his weight is definitely not an issue. Man, when I look at that picture I look at the size of this dude arms, his shoulders, he's a massive beast of a kid. If he last through camp he'll contribute greatly to the middle of our defense.

EVERYTHING with this kid is an issue- maturity, weight, grades...

BUT, his potential is absolutely unlimited. We need to have someone in his ear every day reminding him of the difference between the NFL and being a bouncer at a bar in Mississippi. I say room him with Grant or Smith and have them mentor him night and day.

It would be a crime to let all of this potential go down the drain.

I think that's what they're intentions are, to room him with a vet so he can see how it's done from a professional stand point.
