Too much of that would probably lead to a different kind of dry spell as well.

I wonder if they're vestigial or actually contribute something. Does he have a particularly strong grip? I'm expecting Adam to get on this at the pressers ASAP.

and "perfectly harmless" sounds like famous last words, Like "This won't hurt a bit", "watch this, hold my beer". I don't think they were trying to say he is injured. I just get nervous around certaintees.

How is his foot and was it ever disclosed what the actual injury was or was is just labeled a "foot injury"? I don't ever recall seeing this. Darboh is going to play a large part in this year's offense, assuming that the O line is serviceable.

already enough forearm muscles to learn for anatomy...

so surprising that the university wouldn't comment on a student's medical history.

I guess why we know he's a "posession receiver", guy won't let anything go with those forearms

Wimpy: Br— naw, I can't do it...

Forearm muscles can be quite variable. Something like 10% of people don't have a palmaris longus muscle (which isn't very useful for those of us who have it anyway), and something like 10% have an additional wrist extensor muscle, usually an additional head of the extensor carpi radialis (usually has 2 on each side, Darboh seems to have 3)
It's unclear how useful it would be for catching a football. It seems like it could be helpful in keeping a football tucked away, so maybe he doesn't fumble as much?
Fun fact either way.

I swear, if this guy loses a fumble this year, I'm gonna lose it. No excuses with the extra muscles and all.

Someone commented on that article: "Expect Jason Avant, but faster"
Fred Jackson follows MLive confirmed.

I've had racists ask me if black people had extra muscles in their legs.... never knew there was actually potential for someone to have extra muscles. You learn something new every day.
