Jaelen Strong tapped his cleats across the artificial turf in rapid fashion, moving with ease and confidence during a ladder drill before breaking into a short pass pattern to haul in a spiral.

The Texans wide receiver was noticeably leaner and quicker than he was in the past, sharply changing directions during a Saturday morning workout conducted by his trainer, Rischad Whitfield, "The Footwork King."

Changing his diet and work habits dramatically since reporting overweight as a rookie three years ago, Strong says he's down to 198 pounds heading into training camp at The Greenbrier resort in West Virginia.
