I know he's listed at 210 but that's being really generous. He looked more like 190ish at best.

No not crazy, you're right.

However, he's been on the active roster of three NFL teams (now four). Knowing that you are prone to injury, and not taking the necessary steps to curb that (if at all possible), doesn't exactly scream dedication. But I'm not even saying that he hasn't tried. I'm just saying that it probably doesn't matter.

I don't know what he weighs now. He was listed at 213 in college. My guess is his ideal NFL playing weight is around 210. He's probably not there at this point because he has been away from the game.

Like I said, it's a fun story, but I suspect it will be more of a short story than a novel.
