PISCATAWAY — If there was a silver lining to the knee injury that sidelined Rutgers defensive tackle Darius Hamilton for most of last season it's that he was finally able to add weight to his 6-foot-3 frame.
Of course, adding pounds through inactivity wasn't ideal.
"I think not playing football for a year definitely helped a lot," Hamilton said. "When I put it on, I put on a lot of bad weight."
Hamilton met with new strength and conditioning coach Kenny Parker this winter to lose the bad weight without sacrificing size.
