Default Did Eddie take steroids?

Look how skinny he was in the first season he was also short he looks like a normal 15 year old boy before he had the growth spurt, then by the final season of the show season 9 he is a giant 6'4 he is big and muscular and he looks like a 40 year old man even tho he was 21 years old its strange because both of his parents are short in the show, Do you think eddie was secretly taking steroids.

I wouldn't go there, he was kind of big for a 15 year old, so he grew naturally. I am around Eddie's age, and he reminds me of people I saw grow and went through puberty with at that age. (15-19)

I don't think he did.Like Garfield was saying,i grew up with people that grew like that.I had 3 cousins that looked like tooth picks until they we're about 17.And now all 3 of them look like pro athletes.So,it's not too much of a stretch that somebody can grow that much naturally.

yeah, I was a toothpick myself. When I reached 15, my chest started developing and my arms swelled a bit on it's own. But I had to work out with it as well. By the time I as 19-20, I was still thin, but I had a nice chest as well, something I didn't have a few years before then.

Not bragging, but that's how I grew, developed, and went through puberty. So I am sure Eddie (Darious McCray) went through this too.

Exactly,i didn't mention myself because ive always been a big guy.Since the 6th grade.I mentioned them though.Because they are basically caught up with me now and actually taller.I'm still a better basketball player though.

Yeah he did not take steriods eddie was average size in the first season but he was just baby face i think he looks around 5'9 or 5'10 in the first season then by the second season he is around 6'0 or 6'1 then he keeps growing slowly during the rest of the series then finally by the 9th season he is the tallest person in the show just look how is towers over carl and steve they look like dwarfs next to 6'4 eddie winslow, i new people in high school who were like 4'0 tall when they were 15 years old and looked 11 years old then by graduation day they were like 6'5 and had beards puberty can really change people's bodies lol.

I think Darius McCrary was tall for his age. His characher Eddie, was supposed to be fifteen years old in the first season, two years older than Steve and Laura. Though, Darius was actually only thirteen years old by then. The same age as Jaleel White and Kellie Shanygne Williams. So for a thirteen year old, he was tall, and through the series he grew just naturally in my opinion.
