SANTA CLARA -- Ask wide receiver Cedrick Wilson what he's been doing in the offseason, and he rolls up his sleeve and points to his right biceps. His bulging right biceps.

No one is going to mistake the 5-foot-10, 185-pound receiver -- one of the smallest guys on the team -- for chiseled teammate Terrell Owens. But Wilson did his best Owens impression over the last few months, grabbing every dumbbell and free weight in sight and dedicating himself to becoming a more powerful receiver.

He worked on his arms, his shoulders, his chest. He dropped his body fat from 16 percent to 6 percent. And he gained only three pounds, meaning he didn't lose the quickness that prompted the 49ers to draft him in the sixth round in 2001.

His transformation hasn't gone unnoticed.
