Start the kid at Safety or at least put him ahead of Damar on the depth chart

Just add 15 pounds of muscle real quick?

Maybe add a little at a time.  Is 5 lbs too much to add for the 2025 season.

Beane was saying in his press conference that they see him as a slot corner and as a safety. Most likely he’s an insurance policy if Taron Johnson gets hurt IMO.

Did anyone happen to hear what position they’ll be having him compete for…

And separately, what do you all think about moving Tre White to S?

He won’t start camp there but he might end there.

If he does play more safety, he might want to add 15 lbs of lean muscle.

Adding 15 lbs of lean muscle for a speed/agility athlete is both difficult to do and especially difficult to do without a deleterious impact on speed/agility (especially change of direction). Maybe 5 lbs this year and see how that goes. He's not small as is.

Yeah.  He's 2# lighter than Hyde was at the Combine and 0.14s faster.

2lbs is basically a big lunch. Lol

He could probably add 15# and still be faster.

I think 5lbs of good weight would be more than enough. Also fairly easy to do between now and the start of the season with an NFL strength and conditioning team.😉

I can add 15 pounds in two weeks. Muscle? Not so much.

What if we have him add 2 pounds of lean muscle by camp and another 3 pounds of lean muscle by October 15th? I feel like this would be the best path.

 

Should I start a poll?

I’ve heard other players/personnel say it’s impossible to add muscle during the season. Most have enough trouble maintaining gains.

Very interesting what Beane said yesterday about Hancock. He was clearly a favorite of the Bills Scouting Staff. He said when they had the pre Draft discussion on who they would target in that 5th Round area ( I think he said of the guys they had 3-5 grades on) Hancock's name came up 4 times by 4 different Scouts in the room... More than any other prospect.

This might be my favorite "sneaky" good pick in this draft.
