Minicamp rumblings/standouts

Aaron Jones has cut weight (he played at 11 percent body fat last year, yikes). He is apparently at 204. That gives me some serious concerns about work load. He might get a tad quicker, but I can't see Bell Cow touches. He will most certainly be capped, but still a great situation.

That's half true. Jones did cut his body fat in half (to 5.3%) but did not lose any weight. He checked in at the same weight this year as last year. He altered his diet (replacing candy with healthy options) and spent more time in the weight room.

In Aaron Rodergs' words: “I like to tease Aaron Jones from time to time – he’s the most athletic, fast guy with a little bit of a belly,” Rodgers said. “He’s pretty lean this year.”

He was only 204 last year?

More news out of Rodgers offense. Really sounds like MVS is the guy to own behind Adams up in Green Bay.

^ I almost want this guy to be a thing just for the Charles Darwin related team names

Byron Pringle seems to be getting some love

Pre-season 2018 he was listed at 208. So, yes, same basic weight.

Even at 204, on paper his BMI is acceptable to me. As a guideline, it's the dudes well below 30.0 BMI that concern me. But some people just don't take hits well, regardless of metrics (the inverse is also true, ofc).

Coach Jay Gruden said Perine has been Washington's most impressive running back this spring, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Seems logical. Old vets with their roster spot secure like AP are trying to preserve their bodies at this point so generally they take it easy at OTAs, Thompson's ankle is tender so he's taking it easy too, Guice is still rehabbing, Love is inactive. So it sounds like the competition for the accolade is effectively only between Perine and Marshall.

Man, for a second I thought you meant Keith Marshall. Pour one out for him.

Dak Prescott might be a buy low in SF......

Devante Parker is the star of Dolphins camp. 4th times the charm?

I honestly think being out of Gase’s influence is better for him. I expect a decent WR3 year from Parker.

Picked up Pringle on the hype train.

Much of Parker's problems with his NFL performance to date revolve around factors that come into play when the pads come on.

Penny down 15 pounds. I believe last off season he came in at 236?
