Your response sounds like you know what you're talking about. Quick question. Is the weight Jack is being reported at now from college reports or from the guys he's working with now?
Jack has stated that he is currently in the 245 pound range right now, he has said this to scouts and during recent interviews.
He was initially adding weight to his upper body because he was limited with the knee injury per his own words but is currently training hard on the lower body as well.
He has specifically stated in recent interviews that when he first started in college he was in the 220-230 pound range but added weight towards his latter college career in the 245 range.
I have no reason to disbelieve the player because if he was lying to avoid the undersized label for draft position purposes that some have put upon him, then he will be exposed as a liar or exaggerator in just a week at the combine.
It makes no sense to make this claim hoping to help your draft stock, only upon national exposure to be proven dishonest or greatly exaggerating your actual weight.
The scale will not lie about his weight and will be the official record for scouts and teams to draw upon.
This would in my view, actually hurt his draft stock to some suitors because it is still early in the process and the player has been telling people he is currently in the 245 pound range.
How do you raise your draft stock by stating you are in the 245 pound range to minimize the size factor for stock purposes and then come in way under that weight at the combine?
Sure if he comes in within 5-8 pounds of that top range many would not worry for draft purposes say like 237 or so.
No real reason to worry regardless because we will all find out early next week either way, we can only go off the reported or self asserted unofficial information that we have until then or like some prefer, simply guess.
