    All here praying and wishing Big Dez the best. His long term health, way more important than NFL money for maybe a year or two.

    At UF, pretty much EVERYONE liked Big Dez. His ability to be endearing enabled him to cut corners and made others enable him.

    Well..probably just me but, they are not his peers.
    He is not a member of the team. His situation has been front and center for him since he played in high school at 380 and showed here at over 450.
    He has no excuse. He received guidance at the highest level. He disregarded it completely.
    Even the actor who played the extremely fat football player in REMEMBER THE TITANS lost half his weight. ( ETHAN SUPLEE..lost 250 pounds). Desire comes from within.
