AJ weighing in at 238? (nope, ~220)

[ihatefulmer]

Just read an article on AL.com listing him at 238. Is this the coaching staff blowing him up or is he really beefed up that much?

"McCarron weighs 238 pounds this season. That’s 48 pounds more than he weighed as a freshman in 2009 and 28 pounds more than his listed weight last season." per AL.com.

This was mentioned in another thread. If you look at the media guide and website, AJ is listed at 214. He very well may be 238, though. The player bios aren't the most up to date on RollTide.com.

They are mistaking AJ for Corey.

If not for his number, I don't think I would have recognized him in the team picture. He looks much, much bigger.

Nope, from AJ:

“I’ve stayed 215, 220 all summer, I haven’t really dropped below that,” McCarron said Sunday during the Crimson Tide’s annual Media Day. “I think Coach (Scott) Cochran’s weight program that I’ve been on has been outstanding for me. I bench more than I ever have, squatted more than I ever have. Overall my body feels the best I’ve felt since I’ve been here.”

Nope, from AJ:

I saw him squat some pretty serious weight from back in the Spring. I bet he is every bit as strong as Tyler Watts was from back in the day and I hold that guy on my pedestal for being the grittiest, toughest QB to ever wear a Bama jersey. He does get negative points for his chest tats though.

I didn't much believe that when I read the 238.

He looks bigger, but 238? Nah, maybe 228...

Me either. If he had gained that much weight in 3-4 months we would be under investigation for PED's.

A topic about our guy?

What is this, a tide forum? heh.


Kidding of course...it's the off-season.

He does look bigger, but I don't buy 238. Yeldon is bigger, too.

Yes Yeldon is.
