Cushing weighs 262!

Actually I think the concerns were more that he is too obsessive about his appearance/diet/physique as compared to the game. In that, his diet/body building would take precedent over, or be a detriment to his film study and/or play on the field.

I think that's a legitimate, yet unlikely concern. I'm more worried about his injury potential (which, coincidentally, could also be a result of his body building) than anything else.

That more closely resembles my impression of the concerns over his prepared meals. It led to an image that he is a pretty boy more concerned with how he looks in the mirror than how he plays on the field. Lifting weights to look good at the beach isn't necessarily the same type of workout that would help you get better as a football player.

Bill Romanowski was a workout warrior and nutrition junkie. Id say that worked out pretty well for him. Do not think I am comparing the two physically or on the field, just their dietary and workout habbits.

Alot of players have personal chef's to regiment their diets, probably half the team does if not more. I watched the videos of his workouts and judging by the success he had at USC, you could definatly say that he isnt working out just to "look good at the beach".

This just seems like nit picking to me. It is easy to find something in every player that could be misconstrued any way you wish in able to project them as something they arent. All the commercials and TV appearances by Peyton Manning show me he isnt really interested in football and would rather be in holywood..
