MOBILE, Ala. – There are small players, there are small-school players, and then there is Old Dominion edge rusher Oshane Ximines, who is both.
But he’s not letting that fluster him at the Senior Bowl this week as he attempts to become the first player from his school drafted into the NFL.
Ximines weighed in at 240 pounds, about 15 pounds lighter than the weight he played at in college and the weight he hopes to reach by the time next football season begins. The reason for it, he said, is an adjustment in his diet. After years of subsisting mostly on Taco Bell – the store in Norfolk apparently knew him by name and usually had his regular order ready and waiting for him when he showed up two to three times a day – he’s begun a more nutritional meal plan.
