Russell Okung looks like a complete recent human being.
The previous NFL offensive tackle posted a photograph of himself on Twitter on Sunday looking especially svelte.
Perhaps intentionally or perhaps not, the tweet, which was posted on Easter Sunday, included the caption “Reborn.”
Okung’s playing weight was most recently listed at 310 kilos.
ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio said that Okung’s recent weight “looks to be” within the vicinity of 220 kilos.
Chosen sixth overall within the 2010 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma State, Okung played left tackle for the Seahawks, Broncos, Chargers and Panthers in a profession that spanned until 2020.
He was a member of the Seahawks’ 2013-14 championship team that defeated the Broncos 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVIII.
In 2019, as a member of the Chargers, Okung suffered a pulmonary embolism and expressed gratitude for staying alive.
“I definitely looked death right within the face,” Okung told the team’s website on the time. “Had it not been for a family who cared quite a bit about my wellbeing and took the additional steps to be certain that that I got checked on, despite my very own resistance to them, I is probably not here straight away. So, I’m grateful for individuals who love me and care about me.”
He was chomping on the bit to get back to work together with his teammates.
“I really like my teammates, [and] I really like having the ability to support them,” Okung said. “I’ve been a team captain here and hopefully a individual that the fellows imagine in.”
Late within the 2020 season, Okung made news when he reached an agreement with a third-party firm to have half of his NFL salary converted to Bitcoin.
