## Caption

I lied to an NFL team about my weight.

When my former coach called me to unretire, I didn’t mention I’d dropped 70 pounds. Here’s why it doesn’t matter. ⬇️

Blocking isn’t about size. It’s about force and leverage. The equation is simple. Force = Mass × Acceleration. Smaller linemen dominate by getting to the spot faster, disrupting the defender’s balance, and winning with better leverage. When your knees, hips, and ankles align, and you beat your opponent to the punch, bigger players lose their advantage.

Week 17 with the Colts, my lighter body was fresh and explosive. I didn’t win with mass. I won with speed and precise technique.

Save this video, tag a teammate worried about being undersized, and check the link in my bio for more lessons inside the Lineman Vault.
