He needed to lose the weight so he is lighter of his bad knees but last season showed him his strict vegan diet did not provide him the protein he needs to sustain the drive in his muscles to adequately do his job so he has had to cheat a little to get that added boost.

Just curious what his current weight is after loosing 20lbs.
If he is at 290 and in that kind of shape would be incredible job on his part.
Most sites still have him at 300lbs, that's what is confusing as most sites don't update
frequently and just use last reported weigh in as a reference.

Me no likey. We need fat boys at 1T and 3T. He needs to go hang out at Golden Corral for 4-5 hours per day until training camp. :muttley:


He lost weight on a Vegan diet before the 2019 season. Then he went off the vegan diet during the season and gained too much weight.

He is now back to just a little below his normal playing weight.

There was an interview with him where he explained everything.

He said he ended up at his heaviest ever in 2019 and his cause his knees to be sore.

He is not on a vegan diet now according to that interview.

We need football...STAT! The draft is over, we have 8,000 worn out Dak threads, and we’ve been reduced to over analyzing the miniscule weight loss of a 30-something vegan DT.

His 20 pound weight loss makes him faster to get to the QB. As long as he keeps his strengths, he will still be just as effective. Sometimes fatter is not better at DT. Still a lot of beef there to stop the run.
I’m with you. He may look at this stop as it’s his last chance to be an impact player and actually make the playoffs. As he never has done.
