LENDALE IS A CLYDESDALE
Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports reports that Titans running back LenDale White weighed in at a Titanic 260 pounds when he reported for the team's offseason workout program.
He reportedly has gained 30 pounds in the past three months.
Concerns regarding White's conditioning plagued him last year at this time, resulting in a slide from the top half of round one all the way to round two in the 2006 draft. Complicating matters was a hamstring ("Did someone say ham?" LenDale asks) injury that kept him from running a pre-draft 40-yard-dash.
The stakes ("Did someone say steaks?") are higher this year, with Travis Henry gone and Chris Brown unsigned.
We've encouraged him to take advantage of [the offseason program] and he has," said coach Jeff Fisher, who would not comment on White's waistline. "He's been there every day thus far. He's stayed in Nashville. He's a very competitive, tough, talented young running back. I think he's got a chance to be very good."
But at least one unnamed Titans official acknowledged to Robinson that there are concerns. "At some point," the source told Robinson, "the light is going to have to go on."
But first the light in the refrigerator is going to have to go off.
