Damn Mahdi going to be a fullback by the season with all these restaurant deals.
He does need to bulk up a bit for any chance at the NFL anyway.
Right now his only knock is his durability given his size. Thats why Jeter was always our go-to back at the goal line. Unless he tries to market himself as a D’Andre Swift type of Swiss Army knife, but even he is listed at 215 lbs and is on his third team in four years already.
Ideally he needs to get to the 210-215 range (a la Emmitt Smith),
but without losing any speed. That’s best done gradually. I remember with Stan Zwinggi there was interest in him as a returner at the next level because of his speed, but he gained too much weight after the season trying to bulk up (on bad advise from his agent) and ended up having a bad 40 at the pro day & teams lost interest.
