LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Some rookies enter the NFL too heavy. Others, such as Bears first-round pick Leonard Floyd, are required to gain weight to adequately compete at the next level.
Floyd -- drafted by the Bears ninth overall -- confirmed on Friday the team expects him to bulk up in the coming months.
“I’m at 240 pounds right now,” Floyd said. “We didn’t talk about a number they want me to be at. But I believe that they want me to gain. I don’t know. I’ll do whatever they want me to, whatever the coaches see me playing at, what weight they see me playing at.
