5/12 KFFL.com Hot off the Wire: Texans | Earl Mitchell adds weight: Houston Texans DT Earl Mitchell has bulked up to 308 pounds...[+] this offseason after playing at 287 pounds last season. He said he added to weight to be able to take on double teams more effectively at a nose tackle. 'I just focused on knowing what I needed to do and just kind of the battles that I was going through, knowing that I needed to weigh a little bit more just to withstand those double teams in playing nose tackle. I thought that this was going to be a big year for me, so I approached it very seriously and pretty much just wanted to hit it with a full head of steam to build off of how I was playing in the latter part of the season,' Mitchell said.
