San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This story actually came out a few days earlier from a different news outlet. Anyways from ProFootballTalk: "Last week, Penn State’s Aaron Maybin raised eyebrows at his Pro Day with a performance fueled by a stunning, “you-wouldn’t-like-me-when-I’m-angry” increase in his physique. North Carolina’s Hakeem Nicks also showed off a new body last week – but not in a good way. Since tweaking his hamstring at the Scouting Combine, Nicks had been unable to work out. And, as a result, he gained roughly 15 pounds in three weeks. (NFL.com has the number as 14; we’ve heard that he gained 16 pounds.) As one scout who attended the session opined: “He looked like a fat tight end not a lean receiver. . . . He’s got to have a weight problem. This is the most important few months of his life and he gains a ton of weight. I don’t get it. Many scouts and coaches went away very disappointed.” That said, we’re told that Nicks already has shed much of the weight, and that he’ll be working out privately for the Bears and the Dolphins."

I'm a very big fan of Hakeem Nicks. I've been following him for a few years now. He's always been a good performer and never has he seemed out of shape to me. The news about him being out of shape seems a bit odd to me. Either way, if his draft stock falls, I believe some team is gonna get one heck of a player.

Astrobot Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Bingo. He could be the best receiver in this class. I would agree. He'll be great. Hopefully not for the Dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
