Last month Bryan Burwell wrote about how Jeremy Maclin has gotten stronger and faster.

In the story, Maclin said he had gained seven or eight pounds in muscle. Burwell confirmed that with coaches and teammates.

After observing practice and checking the roster during the past two days, it looks like several other Tigers have added some strength as well. I didn’t have a chance confirm that assumption with the players, but checking the rosters does show impressive development:

Player: 2007/2008

William Moore: 215/230

Derrick Washington: 200/215

While the Tigers began two-a-days Saturday, former tight end Martin Rucker is making an impact with the Cleveland Browns.
