The Big Tuna wants his players fit and strong. He doesn't want them fat, and he definitely doesn't want them sloppy fat. Fat players get hurt more often, aren't conditioned well enough to stay on the field for extended periods, and as a result, aren't as dependable or valuable.

Parcells is so adamant about this he put weight clauses in the contract of practically every big on the roster. A big is a linemen on either side of the ball and sometimes a linebacker or even a fullback and tight end.
Jason Ferguson? He has a weight clause.

Kendall Langford and Phillip Merling. They have weight clauses.
Even Jake Long, who is the leanest 317-pound left tackle I've ever seen, has a weight clause in his contract.

These clauses can cost or make the players between $100,000-$250,000 per season. That's big money but it speaks to how important Parcells believes weight issues to be.

And that brings me to Terrence "Mount" Cody. His name is popular among Dolphins fans because he's a nose tackle and the Dolphins need a young nose tackle to take the baton from starter Jason Ferguson, who is 35 years old and spent much of last season on injured reserve.

Many of you have suggested the Dolphins use their second round pick on Cody. Well, they might get a chance to use a much later pick on the man ... and still might pass based on the fact Cody is, well, fat.
And not just big fat. We're talking dripping french fry grease from his pores fat.

He weighed in at a whopping 370 pounds at the Senior Bowl Monday. He looked so big he might have to expand his nickname from Mount to a full-fledged Mountain Range. The photo in the Mobile Press-Register speaks for itself.

i don't know. i think he should be able to shed about 5 pounds by having a good dump. that leaves only 20 lbs of grease. in roughly two weeks. i wouldn't be surprised if he was closder to 365 after a few days of working at the senior bowl.

lmao

in all seriousness he scares me because i know he can be good but will he motivated enough to take care of himself.
 
Think it's hilarious these people who would not have to work another day after like 35 wouldn't put down the burger and just try..
 
Well think like an agent here. If he sheds his weight to 345 for his Pro Day he could go in the first. But if he stays at 370 and gets drafted, he could still get picked in the second and then make up the difference by participating in The Biggest Loser :lol:
 
If I was that guy I'd wire my fat mouth shut for a couple of months and drink soups through a straw. Adding some protein shakes in there while hitting the gym.

Just 6 weeks of weight loss = millions of dollars.

I love soup all of a sudden.
 
Couldnt agree more. He's a kid now, what will his weigth be after 5 years in the league. He aint getting any smaller with age, this guy has a short shelf life as a player.

3rd round at best.

His fattness tells volumes of this kids ethic and discipline.

I pass till 3rd or 4th.
 
He's had 2 years playing for Nick Satan and didn't get his weight down. If Satan can't motivate him with a pitch fork up his azz for 2 years what makes you think that Sparano can?

If he showed up at the combine 340-345, having dropped 25-30lbs only shows me that he will balloon right back up once he gets his contract. If you can't get motivated to lose weight in order to make a million dollars whats going to motivate you after you get it?

i know it's unlikely, but what if he really shows up to the combine at 345?

bigger concern than his weight is his strength. I've read multiple reports saying he was handled fairly easily by the interior linemen this week.
