For UNC’s Pro Day, Nicks had gained 14 pounds since the NFL Scouting Combine. That type of quick weight gain is trouble for a player at a position such as receiver. But he has reportedly dropped some of that weight.

Prior to his weight gain, Nicks was known as a receiver who would go out and get the ball, capable of stretching the field or playing in the possession game.

He can be elusive after the catch, but must seriously address those weight concerns.

He recently visited the Colts, and the Examiner has some analysis on Nicks.
