San Diego Chargers outside linebacker Melvin Ingram, the team’s first-round pick back in 2012, has only played in 13 games over the past two seasons. Making sure that he is in tip-top shape approaching the 2015 season, Ingram decided to lose some weight. Now 20 pounds lighter after spending part of the offseason working out in Miami, Ingram had this to say about his current body condition (via the San Diego Union Tribune):
“Being at 260 or 265, 266, wasn’t working. I felt quick but I kept getting injured. You’ve got to nitpick at your own body, your own self, your own game.
