Back in the spring, Steelers OT Broderick Jones talked about dropping weight, and so far, he has kept it off. Making the move from right tackle to left, he is trying to maximize his chances of succeeding. While he didn’t plan to slim down, necessarily, saying he was prepared to add back muscle, he has so far maintained the lower weight.
“It’s easier to put on weight than to lose weight”, Jones told Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. At the end of the spring, though, he seemed conflicted about putting the weight back on.
