He kinda reminds me of Vince Wilfork when he came out of the U - exceptional athlete for his huge size, but a really fat guy to with all the risk and downside that goes with that. Wilfork is still playing at a high-level though, was in Miami for the probowl this week and he's been in the league 4 or 5 years.
If there was just a way to get into this guys head and motivate him to stay at 335 or so he might be special ?
I don't remember Wilfork ever being a tub of lard. He is a big guy, but not fat like Cody.

I am not sure who this, but here is a different take on the incident.

Didn't excuse Blount, but did point out that Hout actually started it.

Okam has been a real disappointment to me. At one time in college, I thought he would be a great one, then he just didn't seem to want to anymore after his sophomore season. So if we take a flyer on Cody I would hope they really get into his head to see if he really wants it or not before they draft him.

Just my opinion watching Okam occasionally, looked like he has an allergy or conditioning problem. He would go really strong for a play, contribute, and then look like he had to rest and regain his breath for a minute. Looked like he wanted to go. I thought desire and heart looked ready but body wasn't. But he did look fit, not oveweight for a big man. Coaches should know by now if this is fixable or they need to put some effort to get a FA NT in here.
