On Monday, measurements were taken for three Notre Dame players: tight end Cole Kmet and receivers Chris Finke and Chase Claypool at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine.
The most surprising news to come from this was Claypool's weight.

According to John Nagy , the executive director of the Reese's Senior Bowl and an NFL Draft analyst with ESPN, Claypool weighed in at 229 pounds at the Senior Bowl last month, the same weight he was listed at on Notre Dame's official roster in 2019.
When he weighed in on Monday, at 238 pounds.

Based on this photo Claypool posted to his Twitter account last week, it appears the wideout only added good weight, but that won't be known for sure until he runs the 40-yard dash on Thursday?
Can he still run a 4.5?
