staff said he showed up completely out of shape.


I saw him at a youth camp in Springfield a couple months ago and I thought he looked like he was in peak shape. Then again, I don't spend much time around professional athletes so what do I know.

Just my opinion, but I think they wanted him uber dedicated in the off season and ready to take the next step both mentally and physically, and so far in camp he's not showing it. To trade a 2nd rounder who didn't have a terrible rookie season, he must be showing them very little mental stamina.

His measurables alone should have warranted a 5th,6th round draft pick in the trade, and all they settled for was OL depth? There's more to the story than a few extra pounds.
