Good pics.
Staving look big and mean. Thompson looks like he added some bulk.

I was thinking the same thing Junior. I remember Der'rikk looking kinda puny last season, bur from the pictures he looks much more athletic this season.

There is no question Thompson has been in the weight room. He is one of several guys whose physiques look significantly stronger. Others include WR Jeremy Johnson, WR Keenan Holman, LB Rob Seals, WR Darius Johnson, CB J.R. Richardson, QB Conner Preston, DE Beau Barnes, LB Stephon Sanders, OT Kris Weeks, OT Ben Hughes, LB Taylor Reed.
Strength coach Mel de Laura said he was very pleased with the team's participation in the offseason conditioning program, and there are a lot more guys than those listed here who have gotten visibly stronger. These are just the ones who came to mind after today's practice.
By the way, Taylor Reed recently improved his personal best in the bench press to 465 pounds. NT Torlan Pittman also established a new standard, benching 485 pounds.
