aside from smoking tons of pot or working at an ice cream stand, how could he have done that?

From a little web searches, appears Cushing was 6-3 and 225 coming out of high school so you remember wrong. Cushing was a top recruit out of HS.

I think Clay Matthews might have gained weight like you suggest as he was a college walk on.

As for playing at 255 vs 245, look at Demeco, he was 230 out of college, now 250, so likely the strength is helpful vs the slight loss of speed, guess it depends on what need to do.

Cushing seems to be doing great for Texans so far. Looking forward to seeing the regular season and improved defense this year.
