Does he put on 30/40 pounds and moves inside like pops?

the impact he can yet.
The fact he got injured is irrelevant. Your comment that it had been a "long, long time" was just stupid.
If you can't appreciate Traore's talents, then maybe Foskey qualifies? Maybe 2 years is a long, long time to you.

Right now, he was playing at 260 lbs. Asking him to bulk up to 290 lbs in the-off season is too much mass to add.
Typically, when a player is trying to add muscle mass, it's usually at a more conservative pace of 10-15 lbs a year.
Also, Bryce Young is 6' 6", and may be too tall for the DT / NT position. Typically, those guys are around 6' 3" or so.
Bryce Young is a very special talent. He can definitely pack on another 10-15 lbs in the off-season, and can play either SDE or WDE (yes, he's athletic enough to do so). If you have an athletic WDE who weighs 275 lbs and is as strong as an ox, you have a unicorn that shouldn't be tampered with.
Putting him at DT / NT would be like taking a big receiver like Michael Floyd and asking him to play TE. While he would be an excellent pass catching TE, he wouldn't exactly be the best fit for it when it comes to blocking.
That being said, by his junior year, if he were at 290 lbs, he could do play a hybrid DT / SDE like we did with Ethan Johnson and Kapron Lewis-Moore.
