It doesn't make a lot of sense to be slimming down to 296 and then just do the bench at the combine. Then bulk up to 306 for the Pro Day and also barely do anything.

I am guessing he is comfortable standing pat on his film, which suggests that he either has a basic range he has been guaranteed to go or he is flat out hiding some suspect athleticism. 

He certainly doesn't look very athletic but you can't always tell by that.

Yep, this has gotten very odd. I mean not to rail on the guy or nothing, but did people see him at the combine??

I mean Stacy dales is 6'0, but is she also 230 LBs?? He was a monster in film many times, but the eye test here is down right puzzling- Thats the smallest 6'4 296 person Ive seen. I maybe fooled by camera angle, but geez, he looks like a LS......

 

Plus has any other OLmen or DLmen lost 25-35 LBs ?? I think shemar lost weight, but he showed up looking like a Greek god and had insane measurables. 

Plus sure others are not doing drills, but Graham didn't do nothing drill wise. He is only guy I know of that "lost" 25-35 LBs and now gained back 10. I did learn he said his heel is injuries for the main excuse. (???)

It's super sus. That PED rumor maybe legit.

Nah, as I stated in the other forum he just looks like he wasn't in the best shape and was toting around a healthy chunk of bad weight when you look at 2024 pics. 

I suspect PEDS very, very, VERY much less than perhaps this dude is not really doing what it takes in terms of diet/nutrition/workouts/etc. 

And, if that were actually true, that is a concern by itself.

Also have to gauge if he is a guy that wants to be a physical specimen at the next level. If so, he could be an unstoppable force if you get him on the right track.

 

Overall, I don't think the speculation is any big reason to worry.

 Again, odd answer by him. When teams asked how or why he lost the weight, " I hurt my ankle/heel and it prevented me from working out". So he was resting and letting his heel "heal". In that process he lost 25 LBs, any other DT have that happen??

Lots of gym rats take gas and look fat, that's one of the side effects water retention. A few of them are former wrestlers just like graham.

I mean....seriously, at his weight and body type dropping 25 lbs is not a huge deal. It's discipline.

I think 80% chance he's there at 8 on draft day.

Even if he is, I think Panthers pass.... I'd about 90% sure of that. 

Depends on who gets their way in the draft room. Right Nicole wants Graham so he's the front runner

Do we have a picture of a hug between Nicole and Graham?? It could be a lock.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      The #Panthers explored the possibility of adding Jaire Alexander, but there was never an offer made, a league source told @theobserver.   https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1935436577649401872?s=46

      Young, been named Top Riser for 2025

      By Basbear · Posted

      Yes I agree, the future RT could easily be christ. When he shocking re-signed here for the cheap, he said part of the reason was the OL coaching staff.  I've already thought too much about 2026. The RT has all the options, including resigning Motown. I was never a big fan, but he's solid and peptides and stem cells can fix a gippy knee. If he makes it though this year and wants to return, why not for 2 years 16 million?? Or like you said give the job to Christ or draft your RT...... that I feel is the best current method. With both OGs in the 20 million per cap range and Icky......ooooooooooo boy he could be the first 30 million per OLmen in NFL history. That's a huge portion of cap space for the OL, which I agree with, but in order to offset those 20 and 30 million deals... you need cheap rookie contracts. (unless Motown would take a huge pay cut and whoever the C will be).  This is the deepest OL I can recall in Panthers history.  I believe Morgan should try and trade either Kingston or Zavala.  I didn't even talk about Yosh, Tarquin, or Walton. Yosh is same age as christ and why not him as RT after good swing tackle years? Tarquin is a UDFA on the prayer program, 150,000 in guarantees and why not him in 2026? Walton seems to be a OL coach favorite, he followed the Tampa Bay staff here after 2 years there and add in one year here, he's stuck around for some reason. I think they need to spend very light on RT and Panthers have lots of options, I love it.
