[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 780520, member: 9033"] Yes, if he is still playing OLB then lighter is better. However, I think he'd be at his healthiest if he was heavier, at a more natural weight, and not being asked to play in space and could simply play DE (and for that's what we're talking about for the purposes of this hypothetical). And yes, heavier for him would certainly appear more natural. As people age they tend to get heavier. As guys play in the NFL and work on their bodies more, they tend to get heavier. Perry was 270lbs coming out of college. You don't see many guys that are 6'3", 270lbs that are currently playing 5lbs lighter after six years in the NFL...I wish I didn't have to follow this but some "gotcha" guy will point out the irrelevant point that obviously overweight players lose weight, so I'll make the ridiculously obvious disclaimer that I'm not referring to those players and Perry was not one of those players coming out of college.
