linebacker Michael Mauti on Friday posted a tweet with a couple details of his comeback story.

In November of 2016, Mauti weighed 200 pounds as he kept losing weight due to his battle with ulcerative colitis. Mauti was weak to the point the Saints placed him on the non-football illness list, ending his season and giving him a chance to begin the process of undergoing surgeries to fix his condition.

This November, as the tweet noted, Mauti is back up to 234 pounds. After having three surgeries to remove his colon and rectum, Mauti has gained back nearly all the weight he lost.
