Ravens draft Terrence Cody, teams who passed are going to feel like boobs

Somebody get that man a Bro! Fine,a Manssiere, there’s no time to quibble!
Actually, the photo to the right is from months ago, but last night, the Baltimore Ravens selected ginormous Alabama nose tackle Terrence Cody with their second round pick (57th overall). Fittingly referred to as Mount Cody, the nose tackle was an integral component of the Crimson Tide winning the national championship. Although his fluctuating weight has consistently dogged Cody, his performance on the field (when he is actually on the field) can border on total dominance.
Cody has reportedly lost some weight recently, weighing in at sprite 348 pounds at his Pro Day last month, but Cody’s weight appears to fluctuate constantly, and he shocked onlookers when he weighed in at a Senior Bowl practice at a hefty 370 pounds. As you can plainly see, there are only so many places additional weight can go. in some people, the excess poundage takes residence right in the midsection, but it appears in Cody’s case, it winds up right on the chesticles.
Cody figures to be a tremendous asset for the Ravens, as long as he can keep his weight down and his conditioning strong. I wish him the best of luck as he seems like a nice enough kid, but more than anything, any reason to use that photo one last time is good enough for me.
