Marquise Lightfoot is not hurt

He plays above his weight anyways..I think he could add some weight and it could help during a long season but he can't lose any speed or agility. If he could put on 10lbs or so and not lose any speed/agility it would allow him to play a lot more snaps but he won't be an every down player.

This is what I’ve been saying. At 230-235 pounds he’s not going to be an every down de setting the edge against 310-320 pound OL. He’s used as a weapon which is fine. He lines up in two point , three point stances on the edge , spies or blitzes from Mike ,drops in coverage etc. He’s never going to be a complete 270 pound edge here like 3 & 4. But will still have a huge impact on games. Lightfoot is a football player. He doesn’t have a box to fit in.

Wonder if we could see some old school 3-4 at times with moten scott and blount on the line and lightfoot and wilson as the pass rushing lbs.

Put 25 pounds on him and he is a 1st round draft pick.

He can’t and shouldn’t put on 25 pounds IMO. He will likely get slower if he somehow, miraculously puts on another 25 pounds. He is absolutely strong enough right now to play WDE. If he can get to 240, lookout! He balled out this year off the bench. He is so versatile and someone will take him in the first because of that. Now I can see him being 245- 250 if he returns in 2027. But will he move the same?

Bigger DL to go with 12 to eat space would help him have 1 v 1 ‘s against tackles. On pass downs you’re at his mercy. And he has more than a speed rush albeit his speed rush being enough to win a lot
 
He is strong AF…the way he handled that double team against osu…and not on the video but his absolute blow up of the iu rb in the natty…wow!!!
