If Drew Brees can play at 205-210 lbs, why does Brennan need to be 225 lbs?

Not saying Brennan has Brees’ ability to avoid taking sacks/hits, but when did only weight become synonymous with durability? A little pocket awareness and agility can make up for any short comings in the weight department in my opinion.

Maybe Doug Nussmeier can help Brennan there

You so dumb. Body type. One is short and the other not so much.

He is. He's still a teenager in many ways. He will add the weight when his body adds it for him. Nothing to worry about.

LSU's Offensive Line, that's why!

I fear for his safety, particularly so without Clapp.

He'll need to add much more solid weight in order to withstand the hits. (Hopefully, up to the 215-220 range by Pre-Season camp)............

I've stood next to Drew Brees. I'm 5'11". He was taller than me by an inch or two. He had cleats on, but he was taller by enough for me to notice.

There is no question that he is 6 feet tall.

Because Brennan isn't a first ballot Hall of Famer?

News flash at 11. Body type / mass makes a difference.

Shocking I know.

This is idiotic. This has nothing to do with playing weight.

This is clever. Plus, I think he solved our tailback problem for 2018.

Drew Brees is about the same size as Lindsey Scott, but he was too short.

Lol

You are a moron. They aren't going to "give a guy a measurement"

They measure you multiple times and take the most accurate measurement

The NFL combine is the most accurate height and weight you will ever get for a person
