Packers LB Krys Barnes drops weight, feels faster to start 2021

Green Bay Packers linebacker Krys Barnes is feeling light on his feet to start his second season in the NFL.

A surprise starter as an undrafted rookie last season, Barnes now believes he played too heavy last season, so he lost around 10 pounds and now feels faster at 235 pounds.

“Looking back on the film last year, I realized I was super heavy last year,” Barnes said Monday. “I knew my weight was up, but I didn’t know how much I was carrying. I lost about 10 pounds. I still feel powerful, I still have all my power.
