    Cushing was asked to start against UT during that title game due to injuries. He looked about 175lbs.

    Guess he's not overtraining as much.

    Probably a product of not being able to train, at all, for the better part of two years.

    Looks like a haircut and a loose fitting shirt to me.

    The reporter looks bigger than him. He looks about 235 but he's probably been doing a lot of aquatic aerobics to take pressureoff his knees and he's not the type of guy to half step on a workout. He'll put fifteen back on before the season starts and probably have more speed

    I'm pretty sure it's just a mix of the skinny pants and him dropping some muscle mass during rehab.

    tbh..im really starting to wonder if steroids mightve been the reason for him to not only get big...but making him more injury prone. Infact, top end athletes should be going thru intense conditioning and drills that help prevent injuries. Cushing was on a top tier college program, and is currently on a professional NFL team. These strength and conditioning coaches are some of the highest paid in the field to help prevent certain injuries. While many just get injured by freak accidents, I do wonder of a few athletes and do wonder if they are clean. While there is no doubt that he is clean, his alleged prior use might be increasing his risk of injury now...Cushing looks mighty flimsy now...

    the loyd haircut makes him slimmer.
    Not a doctor but I will pretend, no way the roids made him injured these past 2 seasons. illegal blocks that he was not able to see and thus avoid is what got him.
    Watt, clowney,cushing wow! now we'd just need seattle's all world defensive backfield and we're back in this.

    Lots of reaction from one photo in one angle. He doesn't even look small it's simply a big shirt. Wasn't he on the news a couple days ago when his girlfriends sister got drafted in soccer? Didn't seem abnormally smaller then.
