Interesting. He is more of a power back, so I hope that means he is getting to 235 by doing squats and trimming fat. I also assume this means he is going to be getting more carries, since coaches no longer seem to want him as only a short yardage battering ram.
I'm really excited about this guy from what I've seen probably moreso than any of the other backs. I'd love to see him kind of come out of nowhere and have a big breakout game in Dallas ala Butch Hadnot.
He was 225 coming out of high school. Kind of annoying that they put all that weight on him. Like we use a fullback all that much anyway
I don't think he'll lose much effectiveness if he sheds some pounds. He might not be running guys over for 3-4 extra yards, but he's shown the ability to find the hole quick and explode, and that will only be improved with a lighter frame
