Cowboys' Mike McCarthy dismisses question about Mazi Smith's weight

The mystery surrounding Mazi Smith's weight has been widely discussed this offseason, after reports that the 2023 first-rounder lost approximately 30 pounds. Smith saw only 304 defensive snaps during his rookie season, and struggled to get off of blocks after his unexplained weight loss. The former Michigan star was drafted to play one-technique in the Cowboys' defense, but his weight loss left him overmatched in his one-on-one assignments. Smith entered the league around 330 pounds but reportedly saw that number drop to the upper 290s by the time the season rolled around.
