arguably, Maye's 2 best WR's from last year might be gone this year. Diggs and Boutte.
how quickly do Maye, Doubs and maybe Brown mesh?

Is why it's essential for AJ to be here in June to get in sync with Drake and the offense. Makes all the sense in the world.

Is this really Drake, and if it is does he look a little overweight to anyone else?

That's definitely him.. he looks stronger and more girth to him..

Overweight? Not at all. He looks a little more muscular to me though. Arms look a bit bigger. Maybe legs as well. Shoulders look huge, must be working out with Tatum.

Ann Maye looks a bit more muscular, too.

Depending on the photo quality of that shot, he does look thicker. But, I saw him in video clips of the last 2 weeks and he doesn't look that different. However, it's not like he's a WR or CB that needs to be as fractionally as fast as possible, his running style will work with ~10-15lbs more, and it's much more critical to have more girth on his frame to avoid injury with the style he plays. Just like Josh Allen. As long as it's muscle and not flab, it will only improve his game and better his chances of enduring the pounding he takes. (I also hope he worked with a baseball coach to teach him how to slide better)
