ASHBURN, Va. -- The nickname remains, but it's even less applicable than it was a year ago. Washington Redskins running back Rob Kelley still goes by Fat Rob, a nod to his college days, an equal reflection of his inner toughness and any excess body fat.
But after last season, Kelley knew he could do more. So among this offseason tasks: trim the body fat. He cut out processed foods and sugar and snacks such as potato chips and granola bars, replacing them with bananas, cut-up apples and watermelon. Now Kelley said he has around 13 percent body fat, down from 18 percent at its peak last season.
