Rams apparently Pass on G.Jackson

FROM CBS SPORTSLINE

The Rams had Grady Jackson in for a look-see this week, but there was far too much to see to warrant signing him. Jackson, who has always had weight issues, came in at a whopping 385, according to a league source. That's way too much, even for a player who plays at about 335 pounds when he's in shape.

The Rams passed on Jackson for the time being. Maybe if he gets in shape they might reconsider, depending on what they do in the draft. Jimmy Kennedy, a former first-round pick who has been maligned in his career, supposedly had a good showing last week during the Rams' minicamp. If he can continue to show well, the Rams have a solid starting duo with Kennedy and La'Roi Glover.

I'd pass as well. 385 pounds is huge. We need someone to clog the middle of the line, yes, but at that size Jackson would probably clog the door on the team bus as well.

Yea its good to see what happens in the draft

Oh my god! 385 lbs, no wonder he failed his physical for NY. Hell, if it were me, I'd still sign him

Good grief!!! That's equal to two cornerbacks and an equipment manager.

You sure it wasn't the "Fridge" with a false ID?

My sources tell me that things really broke down over lunch at Rams Park.

Apparently, after having a couple of helpings, Jackson asked Jim Haslett and Scott Linehan "are you guys going to eat that?" while pointing to his left.

Linehan and Haslett were confused. When they looked in the direction that Grady was gesturing to, there was no food. Rather, he seemed to be pointing toward Claude Terrell.

LOL That's awful. Maybe New Orleans should sign him to plug the dike when hurricane season comes around.
