So one pound is "shrinking"? That's like 1/2 a good turd. 1/4 turd on a guy that size. Maybe he took a really big shite before the combine, and his normal weight is 4 pounds heavier.
I'm betting he packed on much more good weight during his time at LSU being in a strength and conditioning program. Probably leaned up a bit and lost some inches but stayed the same. The 3 other guys posted for comparison, 2 of them are within 4 pounds of his weight. So maybe he's just at optimal weight? They were just skinny fellars in high school who weren't as physically ready coming into college as La'el?

Also possible. That's pretty crazy to think he might have been NFL ready size as a freshman

For whatever it's worth, I didn't think you were overtly trolling.
But I still hate you.

He was about 20 lbs higher at the end of the football year. He actually intentionally lost weight to improve his quickness so he could be seen as a tackle, rather than a guard. This was recommended to him by the trainers he had preparing him for the combine.

Yes, considering he was the only one to not gain weight during college and it's not like he started at the higher end. He's on the lower end of weight compared to the other OTs.
Maybe you can go find him and ask. You better hurry because those 1st rd draft picks become instant celebrities after the draft. Maybe 305 is his ideal weight so nothing else that you said matters.

Most kids don't come out of high school in the developed body for premium play in there position with respect to their height. LC was. 6'4 305 is good weight in a tackle or guards frame. Plus he said he lost weight preparing for his drills at the combine. He's a first rounder. Not sure what's not to like about his physique.

Somebody mad about 4-0 and "O-line U" taking a backseat to LSU in this year's draft.

Your intramural football club's progress has shrunk for 76 years.
Ask Myles Garrett if LC is big enough. Lol

Not much incentive to put on weight when you go up against shite DE's like Myles Garret who are so easy to pancake every play.

I would strongly suggest this guys body fat content changed drastically once at LSU under proper S&C guidance.
Probably lost fat and put on muscle. I'd be shocked if thats not the case. Especially training for combine.

I'm not sure I understand the accusation here;
Are you implying that there is an issue with an athletic OL being 306lbs instead of packing on another 30lbs of fat?

No "accusation," it was just interesting that he was literally the only offensive lineman in the entire combine to not put on weight between HS and the NFL. As has been mentioned, he may just be lean on purpose for the combine and played at a higher weight during college, or he may have just been a freak out of HS.
