I read on Twitter that the guy's agent supposedly told him "get above 260" without telling him how, and so he gained about 20 lbs. Without lifting weights. The reverse of Bryan Burns.
Dumb, but football players are not always the smartest. Nor do they have to be. And the guy is 20. His agent clearly sucks and didn't prepare him for the interviews, so it would not surprise me if he didn't advise him well on gaining weight, doing it right, getting the right trainers, etc.
He seems immature and needing direction, but clearly has talent, and produced against top competition. If we got him late second I'd be happy with that.
