Photos From Patriots Rookie Minicamp - Day 1

On that 4th picture down I intially mistook Dont'a Hightower for Willie McGuinest. I was thinking "What the hell is Willie doing there? Did he come back to N.E. for one last hurrah?"

Then I read the caption.

Looking at Ebner...he's got that kamikaze stare working

The first person I though of when I saw that was the psycho from Stripes.

247?! I've seen a couple of websites having him listed at 266...that's quite the difference.

He's 6'5 and a half.... 266lbs. That's his official Combine height and weight.

247 is from a previous weigh in long time ago.

This refrain of Jones needing to "put on weight" is ignorant. He is almost 270 lbs and played with nfl caliber strength in college. His current weight is ideal for maintaining his speed and agility as an OLB. Strength for Jones is not an issue. He has it. If the issue is his "bench reps" as some have indicated, the fact he did 22 reps on the bench with 36 inch arms means he is stronger than Seymour, Mankins, Kiwanuka or Pierre Paul when they were drafted.
