Raiola and his weight

I said at the end of last season that DR needed to work on becoming more mobile which includes being more fit.  I think being in peak fitness will enable him to have a great sophomore season.

This is really all he needs to do, and a lot of it will come naturally with his body maturing. He was listed at about 230 last year, and that looked pretty accurate. That's a perfect weight for someone his height. Body comp will take care of itself since he's going to be working on his strength and conditioning.

If we wanted a dual threat he would need to drop 10 to 15lbs. However, that might compromise his durability, and honestly our QB shouldn't be running it more than 5 or 6 times in a game max. Even less in conference play. There's a reason 2AM and Harby never made it through a full season as healthy starters.

Dylan is a pocket guy with good enough speed to keep defenses honest, and that can win championships.

A lot like Trevor Lawrence IMHO.  Trevor did a few designed runs and was serviceable in the in the zone read as well.  He was right at 7 carries his soph campaign.  9 TD's and averaged 34 yrds/ game that year.  I'd take it. As you mentioned, just enough tp keep the honest and not completely forget about him in the "run" game.

I think it is more timing for him, knowing when to tuck it and gain that 5-10 yards
