Weight is a controversial topic in the NFL. I mean, you tell a guy to watch his weight but he goes to six or eight Pro Bowls in a row because he mashes his opponents because he is big.

By body mass indexes and the public standards and the National Institute of Health and all that stuff, we're all overweight. I mean, I'm considered too big. I'm 5-10 and 180 pounds but I can't do my job at 5-10, 160. But I can't believe for a second I'm unhealthy.
