He put on 20+ at 5’9.

We’re talking about asking someone 6’1 with a bigger frame to do the same…it’s literally so easy.

Unless the reports tell us he doesn’t work hard and isnt dedicated and doesn’t care about football this is such an easy thing for a pro athlete to do. I did it as the lowest level athlete ever and watched multiple peers do the same.

He was 166 at the combine. He's listed at 180 now. Break out your fingers and toes and figure it out. I gave you a lb.because I felt sorry for how bad your comparison was.

You must not understand height and weight. There's a big difference between 5'9" 166 and 6'0" 166. They don't look the same. Your simplistic thinking that he has a bigger frame so he should be able to put on weight easier is exposed by my initial point that he knew this was coming and couldn't put on any weight.

He knew coming in light would hurt his draft stock and still came in light. Your conclusion is this guy can gain weight easily.

Well done.

So you’re saying someone 5 inches taller shouldn’t be able to carry more weight comfortably around the same weight as someone 5’9? That makes zero sense.

We’re talking about a pro athlete who’s job is to take care of their body and it’s all paid for.

If you know anything about weight training and nutrition he can gain weight very easily.

What he showed up at in camp 3 years ago doesn't matter. What does he play the season at?

And if you read the article you'd see he lost weight his rookie year. Down to 157 lbs. This is a classic case of a guy who can't put on good weight.

Heck, the Cardinals list him at 170lbs.

https://www.azcardinals.com/team/players-roster/marquise-brown/

Yes, I'm saying that just because Nahshon Wright is 6'"4 doesn't mean he has the capability of playing at 230 lbs. When a guy is 6 foot and 166 lbs he struggles to put on weight and you'd have to be a fool to think he will easily pack on lbs. in the pros. Especially when he couldn't even do it before the biggest job interview of his life.

I guess we could argue Hollywood all we want…

Regardless - it’s so incredibly easy to add healthy weight at 5’11-6’1.. So easy a scrub athlete like me could do it to get to 185 and be a better athlete with zero coaches and / or cooking help.

We’re talking about a potential 1st round NFL player at 6’1 that will have unlimited resources as it relates to weight training and nutrition. Personal trainer, personal chef, etc… so easy.

I’ve done what he’s going to be expected to do so I have literally 0 concerns about him getting to a good weight. If you don’t no worries - agree to disagree.

If you tell me he’s lazy, doesn’t work hard, doesn’t care? I’m out…but until then I’m good.

It's so easy that Forbes couldn't do it before showcasing his talent for NFL teams.

He instead chose to sabotage his own draft stock.
 
The reality is that this is a man's game, and the men in the game are among the biggest/fastest in the world. Being slight, thin, and weaker than your competitors is absolutely a red flag in this game, as it is any professional sport

And you could say the same for Brown…and then he got drafted in the 1st round and added weight and was still a stud.
 
Forbes looked downright bad in the drills today. Sorry, there's no way I'm drafting a guy with the physique of Kevin Durant to be my starting corner.
 
CBS Sports guy Rick Speilman picks Forbes as a winner from todays DB’s. You can go to 3:45 to hear what Speilman says about him.

 
166 isn't an ideal weigh-in for a team that covets CB size. We drafted Nashon Wright because he was 6'4" 190 and literally nothing else.

Day 2 sounds about right. I think he does have a chance to make it to our 2nd round pick.

He’s such an enigma to me. He doesn’t lack heart and effort in tackling or the physical aspect of the game but I just cannot imagine him going against a guy like DK Metcalf that literally 70 lbs heavier than him.

Even if it isn’t Forbes we need to change the freaking narrative for DBs. Quit drafting dudes that are y’all with long arms and start drafting dudes that are actually good at football.

I don’t think Joseph or Bland would fall into that category.

Nashon was an absolute swing and miss IMO.
 
I would take Keele Ringo over any CB not named Witherspoon or Gonzalez.
