RM: He's trying to make the team as a FB rather than a RB.

COSTA MESA, Calif. — It is a tough transition for an athlete to go from
college football to the NFL. It is even more challenging when a player
needs to gain weight. Adding the extra pounds is about going up on the
scale but not losing the attributes like speed or elusiveness that got
them to the league.

Mishawaka native Zander Horvath is going through that change. He needs
to go from having a running backs body to transforming into a fullback.
That is about a 20-pound difference.

That means he is on a 4,700-calorie diet, and since he is living in
Southern California, it means more Mexican food.

"I did, actually," Horvath laughed. "It depends. I am eating anything
right now just to fill out my diet."

Horvath has played running back his whole football career but knew that
to play in the NFL, he would have to make some changes.

During his pro day at Purdue, he had a 35.5" vertical, broad jump of
10'3", and 31 reps of 225 bench press. He showed out in front of 30
different NFL team pro scouts.

Actually, I have him listed as a fullback on my roster, so the position
change must have been announced when he was drafted.
