The Facts:
Jeffery spent six weeks of that offseason working with Brandon Marshall at Marshall's training facility, Fit Speed in Weston, Fla. Marshall said Jeffery's body fat got down to 8 percent at 215 pounds. "He was softer last year, much softer," Marshall said. "Now he's strong. He's a beast."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jeffery's strength and conditioning has been scrutinized because he let himself go a little when he was at South Carolina, reportedly weighing in the 230s during his final season. For Jeffery, it has been about more than lifting weights and overspeed training. It also been about listening and following a player who has been where he wants to go. "He's like a sponge," said Marshall, a four-time Pro Bowler. "He's eating right. Got a chef. Seeing a chiropractor. Getting massages. Studying film. Working out hard. I can't say enough about what he put in." As Tribune staffer x suggested, with Jeffery's development, the Bears should get more out of big receivers than they have in decades.
