He managed to drop 85 pounds in 5 months.

 

Hope he has success outside football. He seems to have his future on his mind far more than DA GAME. That's great cause these guys have to do something after football. Can't do it forever.

Holy smokes, that's a huge change.  He was a solid C for the Chargers

He pulled a Jeff Saturday with the weight loss. Very nice. Good luck to him outside NFL

He was an amazing player that didn't receive much attention elsewhere but was the absolute rock of our team.  Hard worker, that set the tone for the locker room and one that made a point to know every single name of every individual in the building.  

 

Every single man he played with will tell you he is a really good man, husband, father and team mate.  There were a lot of tears shed yesterday.  He will be missed more than many fans realize.

 

He is aiming for a broadcast career and having listened to him on radio from time to time, I believe he'll do really well.
