All 32 NFL teams are expected to be at former Colorado receiver Jeremy Bloom's private workout in Los Angeles on Saturday. His father Larry Bloom said the former Buffalo has bulked up to 186 pounds after weighing 173 at the NFL combine last month where he worked out shortly after returning from the Turin Olympics.

Given how much Belioli seem to like short but speedy WRs, it seems like Bloom would be a perfect fit here.

You don't "bulk up" 13lbs. in one month. Virtually impossible.

Actually you're wrong. Wrestlers/boxers/fighters can "bulk up" about 18-20 pounds in the 24 HOURS they have from the weigh to the actual fight. If he was on a serious training regimine for the Olympics then he could easily put on 13 pounds just from the difference in intensity.

Don't think of it as bulking up. Think of it as his normal weight, of which he lost quite a bit in Olympic training. Almost like regaining weight after a sickness.

Yeah, by eatng and drinking several gallons of water. That's not bulking up.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

This guy should be a return man/5th WR type.

Or just God forbid you were wrong!

Yeah, BB really loves players who put skiing ahead of football. If we draft this guy, I will be absolutely SHOCKED beyond belief.

Let's see...a chance for an Olympic Gold medal, or another year playing football for CU. The NCAA dropped the ball on this one. Could have been a great story. Instead they ban the guy for taking sponsor money in a sport he didn't play collegiately. Yet they allow Miami to give a scholarship to LB Williams, dumb as a sack of broken as@holes and arrested eight times in two years.
