Arden Key might have been a bit heavier than originally said.

LSU coach Ed Orgeron said Monday he can see a difference in the outside linebacker in the four games he has played since his return from an offseason shoulder procedure, now that he has reached his target weight.

"He's down to 255," the coach said. "As opposed to 270."

The mention of 270 indicates a higher weight for Key than the coach previously said in public.

Many NFL Draft analysts list Key as a potential No. 1 overall selection in 2018. His production, however, has taken a dip from when he set a school record with 12 sacks as a sophomore last season.
