Can Randy Gregory be dominant despite light weight
Personal i sues aside, there were some on-the-field questions about star Nebraska pa s rusher heading into this year's NFL draft that contributed to a monstrous slide into the second Bryan Reynolds Jersey round. Scouts worried about his ability to play the run and, in turn, his ability to bulk up and maintain a certain weight.As he told , he played most of his career at or below 240 pounds but will attempt to arrive at camp around 255."I think I actually did OK playing at the weight that I played at in college," Gregory said.

I've heard people say that I played bigger than Lonnie Chisenhall Jersey my actual weight."I think if people actually sit down and watch game film, they'll see that I don't actually get pushed around as much as people say I do. I think people just a sume, 'He has a light body. He's a pa s rusher. He must not be a good run defender Joe Musgrove Jersey .' But I think if you ask anybody on the staff, Coach (Rod) Marinelli or anybody else, they'll tell you I'm doing a good job setting the edge and added weight is only going to help me.
