Texans RT Derek Newton weighed in at 330 pounds at the outset of OTAs.
To be fair, he's coming off patellar tendon surgery. 330 is still too heavy for a zone-blocking lineman in Houston's scheme, and Newton will have to shed weight before camp if he's to keep his starting job. Newton got pushed around in 2012, particularly in the run game. But it's not more weight that he needs. May 24 - 2:39 PM
