Do the strength and conditioning coaches try to get Daniels to bulk up some?

I think if they can get him to Cam Newton weight and Height and speed.

He’s been in college for 4 full seasons - he isn’t getting any bigger than what he is now

He looks like Pooky from New Jack City.

Really down the list on things JD5 needs to do.

Not talking about getting fat...

The most he could gain in 9 months is 5 or 6 pounds.

What would this do for him?

I can't see having more lean muscle and strength hindering him in any way


Might make him a tougher runner. Like it or not the guy will be doing a lot of running again.

If they're going to get him bigger its going to be in his legs. They're gonna leave his upper body alone and focus more on just flexibility on the upper body.

Nah, this way if he lights it up from game 1 we can call him the Slim Reaper.

He seemed to be just fine as a runner. He absorbed a lot of hits, and avoided many more. It wasn't really until the last game of the season where he go injured. And that was a rolled ankle. I don't really see how making him a "more powerful runner" really improves his skillset. Are you suggesting he get bigger to create MORE contact as a runner? He's never going to be Cam Newton as a runner. His strength is his elusiveness. If he gets bigger and loses that is that really an advantage?

You may see him put on 5-7 more pounds, at best, but from a physical standpoint he is fine. He's tall. Has good vision as a runner (I don't recall a player with a better ability to step through leg tackles seemingly coming from his blind spot). He has enough arm strength to make the necessary throws. His issues is making better/quicker decisions on when to let the ball go.
