Condell is known for his max-pro (6,7,8,9 pass-pro guys).  This all gels into that.

No idea what Eli's max ever was but he's listed on cfl.ca at 287 right now.  And this jives with the fact that he's always a bit undersized and gets pushed around.  I would think/hope that if he's starting C he'll beef up to well above 300.

287 would put him lighter than a couple of the heaviest DT's!!!

When Eli played in college he was listed as 315 lbs, when he first showed up in Wpg. he wore his jersey like a moo moo, he stood no chance of tucking it in.

Ya, looks like he fluctuates between 287-327 since U ball.  20-30 lbs is totally normal fluctuation for a hoggie, and many lose a lot of weight in the off season and specifically bulk up in spring.  (I have inside info on Rice's old regimen!)

Of course, then there's the hoggies who roll into spring too fat and need to lose some, lol.

Bottom line is, another 25 lb should stop Tui from being pancaked as he often is.  Our C needs to be able to stop that beefy nose tackle.  Do we really want a C that gets manhandled more than Ko-man was??
Never go full Johnston!

I don't think he'd be willing to bulk up that much, he's now married and is much more health conscious than he used to be, I think he realizes there's more to life than football.  Can't predict how he'll handle Center but at least he's finally getting the chance to prove himself.  If they do go 3 Import O-line, I suspect he's more in danger of being replaced than Neuf or Wallace.
