Damiere Byrd (freshman) said it was due to lighting, he's not fat. Though I can't believe people have nothing better to talk about. I mean I'm sure you guys thought the same thing after the Andre and Cody incidents. Also the new UA uniforms are (according to the players) very tight as to help reduce grabbing.
Not sure the jersey can help if they can just grab onto that doughnut roll... :D

you are taking this way too personal dude. chill out. its off-season humor. If it wasnt alshon it would be someone else.

That said, you'd have to be pretty gullible to believe lighting can add 15-25 pounds to a collegiate/pro athlete in a picture. When was the last time you saw a poorly lit picture of Terrell Owens make him look fat? You haven't... because when your that in shape nothing will make you look fat.
someone's reading comprehension sucks lol

Regardless of how "fat" he is, the kid is a beast of a WR.... With that said, I'm patiently waiting for the day that we meet USCe again and kick their fat [butts]!!!!

I waited to reply to this until I had talked to some closer to the program. First of all, it's all in good fun so I don't mind any of the ribbing. Second, no amount of lighting or tight jerseys can make that much difference, the kid does have a bit of a roll in that pic.

As for Alshon, the coaches aren't worried in the least as he has looked fine in practice. That said, he did report to camp about 10 to 12 lbs heavier than expected, and there is no disguising the fact that the coaches were not thrilled with this. Alshon is not a weight-room freak or a conditioning nut, but he is a freak athlete. EJ said that he'd be starting on defense right now if Spurrier would let him make the move - he's that gifted. Still, his added spare tire was not what the coaches were looking for from a team leader.

All this aside, in scrimmages and workouts he actually looks better than last year, stronger and bigger while just as fast, has not lost a step. They expect to have him at ideal weight for kickoff in September.

Now let the fun and comments continue - it's good, clean fun to pass the time until kickoff.

I don't really appreciate the slight. I was referring to your overall attitude in this thread, which i had just finished reading in it's entirety.
You should be more specific in the future as I have a hard time knowing your intentions.

Now that's a big boy!
