Hope he does great. They might need him.
Why not? Put him in there!In the meantime, he can play some TE.

They had him through OTA’s and a portion of camp before he left in early August if memory serves. If he made a good impression then, and now it is just a matter of getting weight up, the key issue to me is what portion of the weight gain needs to be muscle versus donuts and pizza.Great news. If healthy he's the guy
Now that is naughtyMy wife is available to consult him on how to put on weight fast. Shouldn't be a problem.

Regardless, 6 months with a pro strength and conditioning coupled with diet should be a solid amount of time to prep for camp (I believe he started working out in January-ish). Hopefully the weight needed is more of the pizza and donut variety as that should come quicker than the muscle variety... as I can sadly attest.
I don't remember him making much of an impression. Then again, if you don't notice an OL-man....it means they are doing their job.
I am not concerned about his weight/strength myself. That can be fixed...only a question of time.
I am more concerned as to whether he can actually play in the NFL and keep Brady's jersey clean.....we still don't know that. It is one thing to o thru OTA's and Camp.....another to play in a preseason game...and wholly another to play in a regular season game with guys like Campbell rushing off the edge.......
For a nose tackle in a 3-4 alignment, the ratio is 2 pounds from doughnuts and 1 pound from pizza for every pound of muscle that is put on. For an offensive tackle the ratio is reversed.They had him through OTA’s and a portion of camp before he left in early August if memory serves.

He went out fairly early so strong start is relative. But he showed some ability and some "nasty". I have no idea how much good weight and strength can be put on in 4 months (training camp), 5.5 months (start of season) or 7-8 months (mid season if he's PUPed) but he has some time, hope for the best.
