ASHBURN — His teammates still call him “Fat Rob” but Rob Kelley has gotten leaner since he rose to the Redskins’ starting running back role last season.
By cleaning up his diet, Kelley said he has built muscle and lost body fat since last season. He looks stronger and noticeably trimmer. Now that he has established himself, the pressure to make big plays in practice is lifted and Kelley can focus on developing as a pro.
“This year it’s more like just elevating the game,” Kelley said Wednesday after a Redskins organized team activities session.
