Golsen gains 25 lbs.

They talked about it during the bowl game more than couple of times. Said he gained around 25 pounds. What is he on , an all marijuana and weight lifting program. I hate to second guess trainers but that seems like a lot of weight for him to gain even it's all muscle. I sure hope he still has the good mobility. Reminds me of when Donovan McNabb gained all that weight. Sure he could take a hit better but he didn't have the escapability after gaining all that weight. Joking about the pot comments but you have to admit that's a lot of pounds to put on his size frame. Munchies anyone? :rollseyes:

I gained 25 pounds after I left ND as well. I didn't see it as a positive development.

Word is he is looking really good.

On the surface, that does sound fishy but we have to take genetics and body types into consideration, as well. For example, I think Jake Ryan put on about 20 pounds of muscle over one off-season, while Devin Gardner was only able to add 5 pounds...

For a QB, however, 25 lbs is a fricken ton.

25 is a lot lets just hope it helps out. I think he needed to add like 10-15 to help him take hits and break more tackles.

He's at 212 after gaining 25 pounds so he was pretty small last season. I think he'll be fine especially considering most of it should be muscle.

What was he last year? 185-190?

He definitely needed the weight gain.

Yes in that range, which is why this weight gain shouldn't be a huge change in his ability to make plays with his feet.
