There have been some interesting transformations in the NFL. Athletes in the league have showcased some brilliance in terms of their commitment to their health and their well-being. This could be in terms of athletes getting in shape for the season. An instance of this is Russell Wilsonz and his transformation in just 8 short months. Furthermore, this also relates to players who’ve retired and want to keep themselves fit after their NFL careers. Particularly, ex-players who played different positions have different goals. For example, WRs and QBs are required to be pretty in shape for their roles. However, players on the O-line are required to be bulkier and stronger. After their career is over, they might aim to cut down and get in shape.
One such example recently went viral on Twitter. The player in question also used to be a Denver Bronco. He was part of the O-line as a tackle. His recent body transformation went viral on Twitter as Dov Kleiman took to the platform to talk about it.
