Les said he weighed 252lbs now so not surprised.

It was expected for him to move to FB or TE sooner or later given his intangibles

Not surprised, really. I thought he would've fit in more as a running back but that's too crowded. He'll be a beastly h-back once he learns how to block.

I don't know how good he will be picking up the right block and leading through a hole, but I like the athleticism he will bring to the position.

never thought he'd get serious consideration at WR at his weight. He was always too big

Thought he was an H-back when he was being recruited. He played some RB in high school and I think he weighed around 230 lbs his Sr. year. Never really saw him as a WR in college.

Not at all. I moved him to FB in my NCAA dynasty. So obviously I saw this coming.

Not at all. And I wouldn't call him a FB. He'll prolly play split end or half back.

After talking to one of the current WR, not surprised at all. From what I'm told, it will be a good move in the long run.

Not at all.

He was always a strong and well built kid, even in high school. I've said that I thought he could turn into an H-Back type of player, like a Marcel Reece. An offensive weapon that is "primarily" a Fullback, but can line up outside at WR, in the slot, at TE, and even some Running Back, etc.

We should use him like the 49'ers used Delanie Walker.

He was recruited to be an H-back type player. He's much more versatile there as an athlete than out wide at receiver.

Not at all surprised. I always saw how as an H-Back...and a good one. if they use him, he will be a difference.
