Hardy says he's up to 299...

[Stumpy]

@ItsGHardy: 299 w/ 14% body fat ya boy put n in nothing but work

His playing weight for last season was 277. I'm sure Rivera and company told him to work on his strength/power to help more against the run. But, damn, 22 lbs of muscle in one offseason?

Wonder if we'll be seeing more of that "Nascar Package" with he and CJ lined up inside?

[jtnc]

Got damn.

[Snake]

Damn anyone questioning we will be playing more 3-4 defense this year?

i could tell from the pics from OTA's. if he keeps his speed look out.

[TruCatzFan]

b4 anybody else says it... "Can he play DT?"

Apparently he will be able to...

Hope they don't start testing for HGH and all that stuff this season :-/

two words...

BEAST MODE

[jtnc]

He posted this pic the beginning of May.

[Khaki Lackey]

That's a big-ass kraken.

[carolinarolls]

fav player on the defense right now is Hardy.

..had no idea he was bulking like this though. Someone else said it and I agree if he keeps his speed, watch the f-ck OUT

[TruCatzFan]

also should be watching out for an injury (knock on wood)

It's a considerable amount of weight that will put a strain on even the toughest most in shape athletes at the highest levels.

[DaCityKats]

his frame is pretty big so i think he could handle the extra weight. but he does have somewhat an injury problem past.

he is bigger than Neblett and McClain. i wonder have they gotten any larger.

If it muscle and it appears to be with only a 14% bodyfat, then the extra weight will actually protect him from injuries.

Neblett probably hasn't.....he's kinda short. I hope McClain has gotten stronger and hopefully Fua.

yeah exactly his(Neblett) frame is maxed out on weight without slowing up and injuries because he is short. hope so for McClain and Fua as well.
