JSN bulking up

[Mistashoesta]

He's packed on a considerable amount of muscle since joining the league. He looks even bigger this off-season.

He’s looking jacked!

 

[Ruminator]

Whoa. Reminds me of the crazy Christian McCaffrey insta-bulk-up between seasons a few years ago.

 

[Rat]

Looks very good.

Let's be careful though. A lot of guys have done this right; don't want the next David Boston.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Meh, he has much more talent and smarts than Boston ever did. Nothing wrong with a guy putting on muscle to help with impact of big hits.

 

[Rat]

Smarts yeah, but Boston is arguably the most talented wideout to come out of OSU in the past 30 drafts and there have been many, many great ones.

His game is kinda predicated on quickness, so he doesn't want to add TOO much. I'm sure he knows what he's doing, but it's easy to get addicted to this stuff and go overboard.

Jaxon SWOL Njigba, as the kids would say, am I right?

Russ did this too and slowed down considerably if I remember it right.

Fair enough. I couldn't worry about JSN if I tried. Not even a little bit. And NFL player putting on muscle is nothing new.

Russ mostly got fatter, he was jacked already. Combine photo

“When you see him in person, it’s, like, weird,” Woolen said. “He’s like a sack of potatoes.”

“Literally, when I seen him, I’m like, ‘dang, I didn’t know he was built like that."

Riq talking about Russ

 

[Rat]

Im not "worried" about him right now. Just saying he's not typically the kind of player you suddenly WANT considerable bulk from, and expressing that I hope it doesn't go further beyond where he is now. If it helps him be more explosive off the snap, that's great, but the especially musclebound players at skill positions tend to lack agility and are much more injury prone. As happy as I would have been to lock up DK, my biggest potential concern with paying him was skepticism that his remarkable health so far is sustainable. He finally got knicked up a bit last year, and with his body type, it wouldn't be shocking to me if those injuries start piling up.

Again, not criticizing him, just expressing caution. Not like he needs to power through players. Hell, Robert Turbin would make the offspring of Johnny Bravo and The Hulk feel self-conscious, and defenders could have knocked that guy over with a fly swatter. Not sure I saw him break a tackle his entire time here.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Fair enough. Still couldn't muster up any worry.

 

[Hawkinaz]

I wonder if JSN has discovered the carnivore way of eating lots of steak and eggs
