No idea where to put this, but it is gold!

Most of the stuff he has done is on instagram and I don't know you can post videos from there here but he has gotten fairly massive this year in the upper body and core.


That is the build I expect from a LB. Most WR are much more lean through the chest, shoulders and midsection. If he can keep his speed then watch out because he looks to have the strength to rip through jams now.

I really like the work Woicik has been doing. Players seem to be getting stronger at a better rate and Claiborne notwithstanding the soft tissue injuries are not near as common.

Cannot wait for TC and I for one would love to see Lucky win a starting job. That 4.3 speed would be a major boon if he still has it.

Also that is Dre Kirkpatrick of Bengals fame he is working out with.

Massive in the core? Where?

no issues with lucky but don't count out a guy like Jackson taking the special team role away from him

Possibly, but he better show an awful lot and be very impressive.
My reasoning....
We seen how long it took the team to truly trust Lucky last year, and in key situations. It wasn't until we were almost eliminate pretty much, until they utilized him more.
By that time did a fumble really hurt the outcome of the season, probably not.
Garrett does not have a trust for rookies in those roles as much. So I can't see them just throwing in Jackson to be the return guy. As he hasn't had a lot of experience in college.

It's Lucky's job to lose IMO at this point.
however, I sure want to see what Jackson can do.

Agree no issue what so ever with Lucky and DJ has to excel to even warrant consideration..however looking at the comparables DJ was drafted, is bigger, not faster though..and just my opinion he was drafted for a reason with mgmt already knowing the cupboard was full at RB...just my personal dark horse but agree with what you are saying

My guess Jackson has to play KR well to make the team as STs and KR. Maybe he's slippery enough for PR, too. Right now I"d say Whitehead can take the PR job if he can break some arm tackles.

Whitehead is a niche guy. He's not built for the #2. He's too small. He has much more speed than Beasley but is not really a slot either although I could be wrong here. He should be able to get separation like Beasley but he doesn't and few do.

I think the most intriguing is he was considered a sleeper with true 3 down potential as bellcow and I read today on pre camp fodder (32 somthing cant find the article on yahoo right now) where they were saying he may be the most talented guy in camp...cant wait!

It would be great for him to earn the #2 RB spot. Cheaper alternative than the other two as well. He has to block and learn the game first though although maybe he can block already.

Shorter players particularly with world class speed can function outside. There are several examples of it. Beasley didn't emerge until his second year either if you want to compare apples to apples.

I wouldn't be against having a zone created dedicated to talk of our players' physiques.
