He must be on the Jake Cotton training program. I just shake my head when I see people posting on here about the guts on our O linemen.

Well proportioned from top to bottom. Force of nature. Little bit of excess fuel in the fuel tank. No worries.

Warren Sapp didn't sport the most impressive physique but was selected 12th overall in the 1995 NFL draft.

NFL scouts don't emphasize body composition and some players will carry extra mid-section pounds in order to get at the desired playing weight. Its "good" fat if that helps them play in the trenches, not the kind of tub of blubber you see on some amateur athletes....
