Interesting article as the trend seems to be larger players in College. Think about the size of those Wiscy O-lineman.

I think it's a foregone conclusion that playing at 300+ MAY be a help, but the reality of being retired and "wanting" to get down to a "healthy" weight looks daunting.
Plus, look at the "biggest hitters" over the years. Rarely have you seen a 325-pound lineman earn the moniker "Hitman" or "Assassin". Sure, some of the guys can still move well, but how well will they move if they are so banged up that they can't effectively drop the weight without drastic diets?
Personally, I see this as a good thing.
