Palm Beach Post has new player weighs posted. Looks like Asiata needs to lose some weight. At 341 pounds, he's the heaviest guy on the roster. Jakeem Grant is the lightest at 169.
 
Jeez....what did asiata weigh at the combine?

NVM, I'm seeing 323. That's quite a bit of weight gain...

It is very possible he shed weight for the combine to run faster and then just regained his weight. Nearly 20 pounds though, that's alot
 
The early reports from mini-camp on Asiata were that he appeared understrength when trying to stop Ndamukong Suh and the other D-linemen. So glad to hear that he hasn't lost his appetite and got smaller.
 
Jesus......what did he do, eat his neighbors? come on man, he needs to get his ass in shape. Won't be too hard on him being a rookie an all, but eventually he'll learn what it takes to be a professional.
 
That's what always concerns me about guys that are real big like Asiata. He should've been working his butt off since the draft and kept in shape. Gaining 20 pounds is really dumb. Shows a lack of discipline.
 
That's a lot of cheeseburgers !!! But I am sure the Florida sun during camp will help with that quite a bit.

You're right, and he needs to learn that football is a year round sport,and staying in shape is vital to longevity, it's not college. Anyway he's a rookie, he'll get the message soon enough during camp believe me.

Offensive lineman are always at a disadvantage without pads. The breastplate is often a striking point for their punch and a defenders pads are a general target while keeping their arms and elbows in for blocking. I wouldn't worry about reports of lineman with no pads or just shells even. Not to mention, Suh is pretty much stronger than just about anyone.
 
Link?

How are they updated when not everyone has reported yet?
