Certain players have bulked up since strength and conditioning workouts began. Others have trimmed down.
One in particular who is in the latter category would be defensive lineman Julian Rochester, who now has a listed weight of 304 pounds. By the time the 2016 season ended, it was clear Rochester put in plenty of time to slim down so he could be able to move and operate on the defensive line at an even faster pace.
“He’s dropped about 25 pounds,” Atkins said. “He’s lighter than me now.”
Rochester was listed at 327 pounds in Georgia’s 2016 media guide, so it’s evident he’s cut a lot of weight off of his frame.
