You can cut a lot of water weight which has it's own safety issues as evidenced by bodybuilding, boxing, MMA, wrestling, etc. However ADDING 15 pounds of "water weight." That’s genuinely very ridiculous. You would probably die from water poisoning first. 

Yeah they basically implying that his normal playing weight is him in a cut and dehydrated lol. Pretty ridiculous for football. Unless they think he ate a 15lb steak right before stepping on the scale. Idk.

you do realize how those fighters put that weight back on after cutting it, right?

They don't go out there and eat a ton of food, they drink a poo ton of water and other performance related drinks.

If they can put 15 lbs back on there without dying from water poisoning, it 100% works the other way around to put that water into your system for a few hours and then pee/sweat it all back out over the next day or so.

And yes, there are safety issues to it, but not really from a one time thing like this is, it's that those guys do it constantly for their entire careers, that's why it's so bad for their bodies.

Absolutely, you don't think so?

Every standard plastic water bottle is approximately 1 lbs of added weight.

You don't think he could chug 10 of them in the 20 minutes before being weighed in, and that would be on top of him adding weight in the days leading into that day as well.

Sure he'd feel bloated as hell and would piss like a racehorse afterwards, but that weighing in was the most important thing he can do to help his draft status, he would have been able to do it without any problem.

You are aware that this would likely be extremely dangerous, right?

You guys are also ignoring that he didn't work out at the combine either, I'll bet he ate terribly for the week leading into it on purpose knowing he didn't need to work out at the same time.

You can easily put on 5+ lbs in a week with terrible eating on it's own, combine that with a lot of water in the 24 hours before weighing in and it's not hard to put on 15 lbs for that weigh in and then cutting it back to your normal weight within a few days afterwards.

You do realize you’re trying to justify not picking a player because you think he drank 15 bottles of water before his weigh in and then pissed it out the next day?

I don't think it would be just "water weight"  I'm sure he had a weight gaining diet leading up to the combine to weigh in with his hoodie on to cover he wasn't in playing shape.  Then slimmed back down leading up until today.  Hell they even said he ate salad and scallops to maintain his strict diet at dinner.

Not even in the slightest

I'm justifying not picking a player because I don't think his frame is going to hold up.

The whole water argument is solely about why I don't believe he actually weighs 205.

Stroud weighed 10 lbs heavier at the combine than Young, in no way is that legitimate, like, zero, zilch, nada, absolutely not a chance in hell.

So unless the scale was broken for one of them, Young was carrying a solid 10-15 lbs of additional weight that he doesn't play at or Stroud cut 10-15 lbs that he does play at... which one seems more likely to you?

There is a huge difference between dehydrating yourself for a single weight event, once again which has it's own dangers, and literally 15 pounds of water. That's extremely dangerous. 

Unless you think that Bryce saw fit to get dehydrated every game so he could "miraculously" add 15 pounds.

It's much more likely he added the weight like OL or bodybuilders or even someone like Manny Pacquiao did, consuming a very substantial amount of calories and working out. Literally just standard bulking. That's not that hard to do in the span of a few months. Even if he only added 9-10 pounds, eat a big meal and drink a few bottles of water before the scale. That's enough to encompass the rest.

The "water chugging" is genuinely a moronic theory.
