If he can’t keep his weight down in Florida with all that money staring him in the face there’s no hope. He could end up like a circus geek. Make one play and it’s a big deal. The NFL loves that stuff. Think The Refrigerator. Died at age 47.
How did his college coaches let it get this bad?
I knew a couple college lineman playing at a D3 school, they were known as "the fat boys," but they were out of football by the end of their freshman season.
It’s easy to say, at UF he was 18-21 years old, with no chance of losing his scholarship and was a solid player in short spurts, in the NFL it’s a win or be gone culture, no team is going waste money on him for very long if he stays at 464lbs.
Losing a career can be a big motivator, I hope he realizes that and changes his habits, eating right would allow him to lose weight quickly.
**The Refrigerator. Died at age 47.**
He’s alive but not so well. My bad.
