Gerald McCoy ended two years on injured reserve before making it to the Pro Bowl, but it seems last year's performance wasn't good enough for him. The fourth-year defensive tackle hast lost a ridiculous 20 pounds this offseason
"That's a lot," McCoy told the Oklahoman (h/t Sports Talk Florida). "It's just been diet and working. It's taken a lot of focus and dedication."
Every time a player changes his weight, it's a little bit of a concern. It can turn out to be great -- but it can turn into a disaster, too. It's impossible to say right now, but McCoy may lose some playing strength with less weight or he may gain in explosiveness and stamina, making him a more disruptive presence.
Regardless, it's always good to see someone dedicate himself and do everything he can to become a better player.
