(on what weight he would like to report to camp at and how it got high during the combine) “325. Honestly, the creatine I have been taking my whole life and if you don’t take it right you carry a lot of water weight. After the combine, I stopped taking it and I have lost a lot of weight already. I am down to 328 right now. I am just getting back to what people saw.”

i think the law school thing got blown out of proportion because he is so smart, and scouts aren't used to someone admitting they have other interest outside of football. To me this was a brilliant pick. I think he will be rotated in and will only have to give us 20 or so snaps a game, and that should make him very effective.
