Yeah, I love the story, but I'm still skeptical about the guy. He sure has the drive - to lose close to 90 lbs over 3-4 months is like losing an entire person! I worry about two things:

1) If you lose that much weight, isn't he losing MUSCLE at the same time? We need him to hold off big DE's and not get tired quickly. Let's see how he does in preseason.

2) One of his problems in the NFL was recurrent back problems. Maybe with less weight now he may be better off, but I hope he doesn't kill his back again through the season.

I'm crossing my fingers but trying not to get my hopes up..
