You draft a guy from Texas and you're probably not doing it thinking "Man, if he had a nutritionist we'd be ready to rock!"
Because at UT he almost certainly did. A couple of them in fact. Does that mean he had the maturity to take full advantage of them? Maybe, maybe not. Hard to say.
But I don't think we should still be drafting guys from power programs thinking we'll fundamentally alter their bodies. We probably won't. These guys have been working the hell out of themselves for at least 3 years by the time we get to them. They're probably pretty close to what they're gonna be.

Yeah, but he is still 20 years old. (Think he turns 21 in the next week) Bodies change with age as well. Where it might be impossible to add much weight as a teen/20 year old he could add some pounds over the next couple of years. I wouldn't draft him counting on it, but I'd bet it's more likely than not to happen.
