Back Over 200lbs?
All J.J. McCarthy convo today was very positive. Sounds like he's doing great from weight perspective, back over 200 pounds. All things trending well for spring, and think he took a lot out of this past season.

I have no doubt he'll be back up to 220 by summer. But the amount of weight he lost is just weird. Makes you wonder how low his weight got if he's just now cresting 200. Seems logical that it was prescribed. I guess? I figure you'd want a 300 lb tackle to lose weight while recovering from knee surgery, but a 200 lb kid?

that 220# kids isnt anymore likely to be naturally 220# than that 300# lineman.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Not sure what that means, but I do emphatically believe that a 300 lb human weighs more than a 200 lb human.
When he showed up on the sidelines looking like Calista Flockhart I was told it's all totally normal, nothing to see here. Hopefully that is the case.

Most all pro athletes carry more weight than they likely would otherwise. They take supplements, extra calories, etc. Their weight isnt natural even for a QB as well as the 300# lineman.

I will never forget seeing Matt Birk maybe a year or so after he retired. It was shocking how much smaller he looked. He played at about 300lbs and looked like he'd dropped to around 220.
NFL players are on a training regimen that makes them abnormal and the return to normal is striking sometimes.
What I want to know is did he actually grow 2”
