Thank You!Get out of the mindset that WRs need to be heavy. They need to be light and fast and get open and catch the football.

My thoughts also, Justice is also a Trickket guy and they like their guys lean in that zone blocking scheme.. I know lashlee comes from power spread tree but they run that hurry up style and that also usually leans towards lighter guys.. Hope we are in shape regardless.I’m a little surprised with the increased weight for most of the OL. In a spread offense even a run heavy Scheme like Lashlee runs, zone blocking is more often used than hat on hat or combo. Zone blocking favors more lean and athletic line man. I wonder f he intends to run more power and inside run in a single back set.
I forget which media outlet said it but Williams is locked into the right tackle spot. Do you think this is the right move? Does he not have the skills to play on the left? It would be nice to have Campbell lock down the LT spot for three yearsJohn Campbell & Jarrid Williams have been working with my boy Coach Torrian Wilson for the last month or so on OL drills with footwork & everything else.
Campbell looks really good, expect his best season this year & I think he'll lock down that LT spot.

Pope ain’t 6’1. The roster has Harley at 5’11. When did that happen? Harley is 5’9Your reading comprehension skills really need work. The whole concern was his weight at 6'1.
Benjamin was absolutely tiny at UM. He excelled here at around 150 pounds at one point.
Lamar Thomas wasn’t much bigger.I see both sides here.
A WR can put up big college numbers at under 175 lbs - no question. Travis Benjamin & Roscoe Parrish are great examples.
But yes - most sub 175 lb players (at any position) are also sub 6 ft.
It's legit to say a 6'1" 170 lb body type is a concern, because that body type almost doesn't exist in Football (at any position).

If true, game changer.John Campbell & Jarrid Williams have been working with my boy Coach Torrian Wilson for the last month or so on OL drills with footwork & everything else.

Santana and Sinorice Moss
Slight WR’s don’t take many big hits because they’re usually flying by the DB’s with their speed.I just blew up your dopey weight argument...now you want to talk about height.
I doubt Pope is really 6'1. Pope's weight will be a non-issue here.I see both sides here.

Unless the WR is an Andre Johnson clone there is no point to being 6-3 220
