Mayo said this in explaining why he bulked up:
"Any time you're playing in a 3-4 defense, you're pretty much like a defensive lineman when you are an inside linebacker. So those extra pounds will help me," he said. "Later on in the year last year, my body starting wearing down and things like that. I think these extra pounds will really help me later in the season -- and hopefully we'll go a long time this year."
This comment surprised me because since Ted Johnson left we have been getting lighter and faster at ILB. Isn't Mayo already the biggest ILB we have?
