Re: 181 Pounds
If Hollywood is really at 181 lbs these days that is a tremendous amount of growth over 157 last season. Adding 24 pounds on his frame that quickly is crazy. I do think that is probably his ideal NFL weight, but I'm a little worried he may have added too much too quickly. I was expecting him to be back around his college weight of 168 again this season, or maybe a few pounds heavier. Then, bulk to 180ish next season. Hopefully he doesn't lose too much speed or agility with such a quick weight gain.

Re: 181 Pounds
With a healed foot he might carry 180 just fine and be faster than last year. Can’t wait to see him taking the top off coverages. Him and Boykin, Andrews and company.

Re: 181 Pounds
He may have been listed as 211 at Louisville, but you and I both know that colleges often exaggerate player's height and weight. He was pretty darn thin at Louisville. In fact, that was one of my biggest concerns about him in the pro's. He had a very sleight frame.
I would say now he's probably between 215-220.
Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes are in that 225-230 range and they look a bit "thicker" to me than Lamar does.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: 181 Pounds
Lamar seems to agree with you. His coach Josh Harris was interviewed the other day – it's linked here in a thread – and he said that after his rookie year, Lamar wanted to put on some weight to match up with the guys tackling him. Then this offseason, Harris said that Lamar feels he's at a good size, so we won't see as much of a physical transformation this year. He's working more on "Tom Brady stuff".

Re: 181 Pounds
I hope he continues to be "afraid to take a hit" for the rest of his career. He isn't built like Julio Jones or Calvin Johnson. Taking unnecessary hit is stupid in the NFL. Get open, get as many yards as you can, get down or out of bounds, come back and do it next play. A few contested catches when it's called for is ok, but it would make no sense for him to take hits to gain an extra yard or two. That's what Mandrews, Boyle and Ricard are for. Play to your strengths. How many times can you recall seeing Jerry Rice run someone over of take a bone crushing hit?

Re: 181 Pounds
Thru the first 5 games last season, Marquise was averaging 7.8 targets with 4.2 catches for 65.2 yards. Then he missed games 6 & 7, and the Ravens seemed to keep him on a pitch count the rest of the way.
But if you take those first 5 games, multipled over a full season that comes to 125 targets with 67 catches for 1043 yards and 10 TDs.
I personally think Marquise will be more productive per-target than that. His foot limitations should be gone, and he's really worked on his strength & explosiveness. His chemistry with Lamar is off the charts. So I think he'll hit those numbers no problem, even if his target share goes down because we're spreading around more balls to Boykin & Duvernay et al. I expect ~1100 yards and 9 or 10 TDs.

Re: 181 Pounds
Looks like it's a lot of legs and core weight to me. He looks really strong and thick in his core, hips, thighs etc.. That type of weight is going to make him stronger coming off the of scrimmage, breaking tackles, being precise and being explosive.
I think he's going to absolutely destroy the league this year.
