A few observations.

I like Geno Stone's result. With his playing style, he could be a force at that weight, and perhaps a front-runner for the new hybrid position we keep hearing about. Nixon at 306. If that's all muscle, watch out. Stanley appears to be turning into Big Ben Roethlisberger...

Mildly disappointed with Reiff and Wieland. I was hoping Reiff would come in closer to 280, and Wieland didn't gain much muscle knowing that the LB positions are wide open.

Bryan losing 12 lbs. Ouch. That shoulder injury definitely set him back. He has a ton of talent. I hope he can bounce back strong. I hope with Render and Reynolds that what we are seeing there is body transformation. We need them to step up in a big way this season.

Hard saying what was expected out of Bryan. They may have wanted him to cut weight, that may have accumulated during his injury. Or all of these guys for that matter. I'm sure each player has customized growth expectations yearly. Some are already at their ideal playing weight, some need to gain, and occasionally some need to cut .

Stanley isn’t fast obviously, but I guarantee you he’s faster than Roethlisberger if he needs to boogie.

Glad to see our punters have bulked up. Hopefully its good weight.

Notable absence: Smith-Marsette. Went looking for the list and he's at 175 still (+0). Hopefully he's taking a page from Wadley and getting stronger while keeping speed and increasing effectiveness.

This is my favorite time of the offseason, the player weight updates. All of my favorite Hawkeye Football players, and there is more of them.

Brandon Smith isn't messing around... Neither is Beyer. Those two guys I hope become play makers for us. Thanks for posting that.

Is Smith moving to TE?

Is Smith moving to TE?

Haven't heard any whispers of that but if he keeps bulking up.... I'd like him to stay outside. We don't seem to throw many jump balls to our WRs and he and Beyer would be prime for doing those.
Lazard showed that he didn't have to outrun every Db out there just use your size and arms. I think Smith is more athletic then he is if not faster too. I think there are playmakers on the roster it's on BF Oline and Stanley to help get them touches too.

The guy was a state high jump champion and has hands the size of catcher's mits. Just throw it up to him....

Who is Kyle Groeneweg?
