Let's say he has 100 attribute points - I don't think he can take that up to 120. I think he's capped at 100 and he can put 60 into speed and 40 into power. Or 50/50 or 40/60.

Any additional power will come at the expense of agility/bend. Any additional bend will come at the expense of power.

I think he can change HOW he's built but I don't think he's substantially improve his 'overall' physical ability. Did I make that clear as mud?

For me I think he can afford to spend an off-season focusing on his agility. It may mean a little less functional strength, but I think that's a trade worth making because I haven't seen a guy who's getting rocked out there. Moreover, technique/tenacity can do quite a bit to cover for a little bit of reduced strength.

But man, if he could get just a liiiiiitle quicker or more fluid, he could be a real force. At that point you'd be looking at a potential Maxx Crosby sort of player.
I think he can get a lot stronger which speed will come with that. He will never be a speed rusher but won't let us down on the run either. I think Veach will still try and find a speed guy to complement George as we did hear rumblings about a Josh Allen trade.

I think Hali is spot on like most have said.

Also find it funny that Hutch is even being brought up when comparing George.....I'm sure Veach would of taken Hutch not George if he had that #2 overall pick haha.
