I wonder how this info leaked since that stuff is supposed to remain confidential.

For his sake, I hope Allen hasn't been using drugs.

MelanieMFunk wrote:Yeah. I hope so too. I can't quite figure out--with such bright futures ahead in the NFL--why some of these guys are willing to throw it away so easily--or at least make it harder on themselves. Some people just don't appreciate what they have. It's sad.

Next:

Hopkins it is.

Anyway, the stopwatch times can be tossed out the window with Hopkins. He's a long-strider with great sustained speed, which is why he gets open on deep routes.

The other reason for a lot of water in the system can be due to taking something. Some PED's actually add water retention to the muscles/more water weight. So ultimately, he could have taken a type of PED to help recover faster from his injury, but the side effect of the PED is increased water retention.
Most Antibolic steroids either cause a gain in water or a decrease in water, based on the type of antibolic's used to create the product. That's the best I can explain it, It has been a while since my PED days, due to my back. I have used different Testosterone boosters when working out. If it was a dry gain, I would look lean and ripped. If it was a wet gainer, I would look bubbely, but I gained more weight than the dry gainer, due to the water retention.

A fast, tall target, that has alot of skill. Hopefully he can limit those drops if we get him. Cause we wont be going WR in Rd 1.
