The Marshall Yanda & Dalton Ferguson transformation

[Franisdaman]

It appears they have lost a couple pounds

And here's Dalton Ferguson

 

[silasstarr]

Good for him.

Reminds me of Robert Gallery when he came back for a game in 2015, I believe. He lost a ton of weight from his playing days.

Great video: PT McAfee show. Start at the 1:45:00 mark.

Now hoping he don't have CTE. Can't do much to fix that.

Huh?

Not uncommon actually.

How 19 NFL players lost weight after retiring and became unrecognizable, including one who used a 'water fast'

NFL players, especially linemen, lose a lot of weight after retirement with simple diet changes.

You can lose the weight but you can't reverse CTE from all the impacts to the head. Flip of the coin whether it shows up in 15 or 20 years.

This poster proves CTE is real.

The question is: why bring it up? I mean I hope a bus doesn't run him over, but why say it?

Yes, lets ignore and hope. Thats a fabulous strategy. Teach your kids well.

You can also die from being eaten by a whale, but you'd have to go out of your way to do it.......

Crazy ... in a good way, he looks great. Has to feel good to not constantly eat AND workout AND stay above 300 pounds.

Joe Thomas is an insane example of this type of transformation.

Hearing Marshall's name always reminds me of that slobber knocker hit when he laid out that ISU player many years ago. In today's game he would have been flagged for roughness. What a great player Marshall was.

And here's Dalton Ferguson

I think they have no choice. it's either, "Stay 300 and die young and hate most of the rest of life" or, "Get back to pre-playing weight and be able to play with my kids and grandkids, and actually see them graduate from high school".

I remember an OL that came to Iowa in 1982, or so, as a TE weighing about 210 or 220. A year or two later he's a G weighing in the 270s/280s. And he didn't look "beefy" or "healthy", he looked "hefty" and "fat". I saw him at a few parties and he looked like a hugely fat version of Augustus Gloop from "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory".

You can be big/overweight and still be reasonably healthy. I see these type of people infrequently. It’s definitely not the norm but it’s possible. I think these guys lose weight because they are used to being athletic and this is how they exhibit this post football. It’s also much easier on their joints slimming down to a more normal weight.

...and you're on a football site, why?
