Quote:A 20 year old doesn't have the frame to gain 10 pounds?

 

LOL! I wish someone told me that 30 lbs ago.

 

I think he can carry 10 pounds, but he also needs a lot more than 10 pounds to absorb the type of hits he exposes himself to, because he's tiny for even the college game.

 

And no, he doesn't have the frame to carry a lot of extra weight.  I mean anybody can become yoked out of their mind (or fat as they want).  But when talking about "frame", it means his bone structure.  He's kind of small and skinny, if he throws on a bunch of extra weight he's not going to be able to carry it without having it start effecting his athletic ability.. which is one of the pluses in his game.  Steve Slaton is a prime example of this..  His rookie year he ran for 1,200 yards as a scat back/skinny RB..  He spent the offseason bulking up in order to be able to absorb hits and added about 20 pounds of muscle, his explosion and speed fell WAY off (things that made him special) and he was out of the league.  He didn't have the frame to add that type of weight and carry it well where it didn't effect his athletic ability and Slaton was bigger than Manziel
