Eric Cobb looks different

[goskis2018]

They definitely meant it as in he was let's say 26% body fat and is down to 24% body fat

Can't believe Chief hasn't clarified this. If Cobb is 6'9" tall and weighs 225 pounds there's no way he has very much body fat unless he's actually a woman.

Because the camera adds 20 pounds. Duh!

The actual (claimed) numbers were he went down from 14% body fat to 12% body fat.

Which is a very good body fat level for an athlete. Sub-10% body fat levels are generally not sustainable.

Just using some hyperbole to amp things up.

Fire Alosi. Kid is too skinny. Our staff can't recruit a player with some size.

Really, even if you decide to fire Alosi, who is going to be the guy who has to tell him?!

Cobb weighs 226 and is 2% body fat. So Cobb has less body fat % than any pro bodybuilder when they go on stage. Incredible!

Superjohn is right. Bodybuilders do crazy things to bring their body fat down just before a show, usually to the 4-5% range which is considered medically dangerous.

If he’s fat or not I don’t care. We’ve seen plenty of players with dad bods who position well, have great footwork, soft hands and brains to play smart. Focusing on Williams jumping ability or Cobbs body fat completely misses the point on what it talkes to play. Give me BB IQ which is somewhat innate.

True but being in good shape doesn’t hurt. Can you imagine how great Khalid could have been if he was blessed with an athletic frame to go with his immense talent and BB IQ?

 

[Hoophound]

Cobb definitely has innate talent, that’s what makes his new found fitness so interesting.

... soft hands and brains to play smart.

This makes a lot more sense. Lived in same dorm as a basketball player who was 6'8" 235 and there was nothing fat about him.
