Is Alshon Jeffery still FAT? (1 Viewer)

[Hoss_Cartwright]

I'm reading BUST, can't beat quality NFL corners, and that SI cover didn't shine on him well. Will he turn into a TE?

 

[Hoss_Cartwright]

BMW comes to mind.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

He's #1. Lookin' a bit husky these days.

 

[BeTheMatch]

Prefer Blackmon and Floyd

No, seriously, who is that?

...Alshon Jeffery. He looks kinda short standing next to #98 but that guy is 6'7.

Is Lattimore 6'3 then?!

#98 is 6'7, Jeffrey (#1) is 6'4, Lattimore (#21) is 6'1. Looks legit to me in that picture

 

[Ladsud]

Looks like hes been over doing it on the beer and mcdonalds for the last year.

 

[massraider]

Looks like the tuba player tried on his uniform.

 

[Carolina Hustler]

Wow, he better get it together..

what was he like 4months along in that photo?

No doubt he showed up overweight in August. He's never going to look like AJ Green or Julio Jones but he is terrific at going up and getting the football. He'll be a solid pro. Here is a picture from Week 2 versus GA. Not fat, but certainly not cut either. Alshon Jeffery

Looks more like someone dressed up as Alshon Jeffrey for Halloween.

But he isn't quick in and out of his breaks, which is the biggest concern at the next level.

Jeffrey reminds me of a less athletic Jon Baldwin. Or a taller Michael Crabtree.

Looks like he needs a bra!

 

[Area51Inhabitant]

He's putting up td's but all of his other numbers are way down this year. It'll be interesting to see if USC wins the East division how he would do going up against the likes of Kirkpatrick or Claiborne in the SEC championship game.

I don't think his QB situation is helping him...

 

[moderated]

Not a fan of Jeffery at all. He'll drop to a late 1st round pick or later once the NFL draft rolls around.

 

[mr roboto]

I watched a few YouTube highlights. Just looks big. Not all that impressive except size and leaping ability. Looks kind of lumbering in his cuts.

ETA maybe a TE @ NFL level?

I was gonna say the same thing. Defenses not having to worry about Lattimore cant help either.

I remember when I was really excited about my developmental WR's in Sweed, Lee Evans, Jacoby Jones and that big tall guy on NYG.ETA. Barden.

 

[wiscstlatlmia]

Ok that picture is hilarious....

 

[Hoss_Cartwright]

I really liked Jeffery last year too. I won't be selecting a lumbering WR who's only value lies in the redzone and leaping / positioning ability. I really thought he would be the 1B to Blackmon (1A) this year as A.J. Green and Julio Jones were last year, but it isn't looking like that's going to happen.

 

[Patoons]

This thread is reminiscent of the Julio hate for much of last year. Still a long way to go here before calling this guy a bust especially given his situation out there in SC.

 

[domvin]

I dont think I want to invest in a guy who lets himself go that much. Lot of money and free time at the next level. If you cant dedicate yourself perfecting your craft or your body, you are gonna have a tough time making it in the pros.

I don't ever recall Julio Jones ever being in such bad shape.

So we're going off that one picture here? Date on picture? Did we ask him to run the gauntlet, vertical, shuttle? Seems to be an overreaction to say he's "out of shape" based on a photo. Maybe his jersey's just a little too tight. Who knows.I actually just looked up the date on this picture. It's 7/21/11; around the same time of the SI cover when this same thing was brought up in early August. I think we may need an update on this picture if we're relying on visual perception.

I'm sure he looks better now, but I read somewhere that scouts are worried about his ability to separate at the next level. I know that's said about a lot of big WRs with poor 40 times, but I'm more worried about Jeffery than others in the past because I question his work ethic.

 

[finito]

This guy's combine numbers are going to be very important.

Most of the Wrs in the NFL are cut-up muscular dudes no matter the size. IMO, at no point should a WRs body look soft. He is either a naturally really big dude who is going to have kill himself to stay in shape or he has a real work ethic problem.

Sometimes Athletes intentionally gain weight. My son was told by his coach just 2 days ago that he needed to gain 15 pounds before next season. A friend of mine, who is a body builder, will go through spells where he's packing on all the calories he can, he get's fat-ish, then he burns much of it off as well as turning much of it into muscle during the 4-5 months before a big competition.

Could be that Alshon wanted to end this season bigger, and in great shape, so he put on some extra before the season started. They do lose weight as the season goes on..

This is quite a big stretch. Talk about trying to justify something.

Not a stretch at all... If you know anything about building muscle and what the body goes through in a season of sports..

Major difference between good weight and bad weight. Having an inner tube around the midsection is bad weight.hit the weights hard in the offseason and a 15 pound weight gain is good, as long as its proportionate throughout the body. You lose some of the bad weight in camp, mostly water weight. . .But camps arent as rigorous as what they used to be. Also depends on what position you playAgain, spare tire on a wr is not good.

He's probably 3-5 pick, depending on the league, wouldn't you say? Unless he has some horrible problem between now and then.. If his combine checks out, and he doesn't get to banged up before the season is over..There have been #1 overall predictions.. I don't think you can call that this early, or based on a picture..I'd be very surprised to see him going anywhere later than the #5 with what we know now. And most likely around #3 will be the average..

You have any credentials? Sports Science degree? Or are you just like the rest here and giving your opinion?I'm sure he'll look much slimmer at the combine, then what will you say?

 

[domvin]

Sure, i can try.

Junior year in college, i converted from linebacker, went from 225 to 245 since i moved to def end. Wanted to have a little extra on me since id lose some weight in camp. Ended the season at 231 through the rigors of the season. About 6% body fat.

My senior year in college, i came in at 250 after knowing how much id lose. Ended that year at 238, 10. Something body fat.

I dont have the science degree you seek, but i did play college ball and i have experience in gaining muscle mass and also leaning out, as us "weight lifters" as you so deemed your buddy as.

if you need some help with your son, let me know? It sounds like having you as a father,he may need it.

And you still have the same ignorant avatar as you did when you were posting on draft sharks. Glad nothing has changed hustler. . . Keep hustling

Would you pass on Luck for him? I sure wouldn't, even in a 4pt per TD league for passing.

This was my point related to Julio. This was also a big concern related to him last year at this time and even up to before draft time.

 

[eakfootball]

Liked him as a top 5-10 pick before the year, but I don't like the vibe Im getting. Jon Baldwin and BMW both come to mind.

I guess that would depend more on how the rest of the season, and the combine go... Then my roster and league scoring would have some bearing as well..I don't think you can call it yet..

Ok, let me refine my question.4 pts per td, 1 pt per 20 yds passing.Luck and Jeffery stay on the same course with no injuries.You don't have a great need for QB, but could use a top WR.You can't trade down, but you can trade for 2013 picks.Given these parameters, which player to you take at let's say 1.5?

If I need a WR, and we are at 1.5, I assume Blackmon is already off the board, Alshon would probably be a steal at that point. Based on Dynasty Rookie Values, I'd rank them pretty close to eachother.. Blackmon/Richardson will likely go 1.1/1.2, then Luck/Alshon go 1.3/1.4

No sports science degree, but I am a trainer...and he's right.Treating your body poorly like body builders do is a terrible idea if you want to become a better athlete. It takes consistent effort and hard work to gain good weight, neither of which it sounds like Jeffrey has. This isn't the first time I've seen/read about his laziness since getting to school either. He isn't near my top 5 in dynasty rookie drafts anymore and I'll be looking for reasons to bump him out of the top 10 just to make sure I don't get him unless I see something drastically change and think this won't happen again. He won't get away with it in the NFL and will be completely overmatched if he tries.
