LEXINGTON, Ky. — Yes, managing his Type 1 diabetes has dropped UK offensive lineman Nick Haynes to less than 260 pounds this summer.
Just don’t expect Haynes to voice the same fears some fans have after learning of his less-than-ideal playing weight.
“I’m not really that concerned about it,” Haynes said. “I know everybody else is concerned about it. But I was able to do my job last year and I’ll do it again this year.”
While the public just learned about Haynes’ diabetes this summer, he has been dealing with the diagnosis for three years.
