And frankly when it comes to receivers as long as they can run their routes  and catch a football who cares if they can lift weights. Until 3 years ago I ran marathons and my little grandma would do better lifting weights than myself...And as you stated you have experience in these matters ..well you should know that some of the best players in both the NFL and MLB smoked cigarettes their entire career..  some even smoked in the dugout...But have a nice day..Time for the Draft

Part of what makes WR's like Chase and DK Metcalf so good IS their strength. It's not just running down the field, it's fighting off the Corners and Safeties the whole way and being strong enough to take the ball on contested passes, and then having the strength to break tackles to get the YAC. Personally, I had never even heard of DK Metcalf until he showed up at the Combine looking like he had been in Arnold's medicine cabinet.
