San Diego Chargers offensive lineman Nick Hardwick retired from the NFL after the 2014 season.
After being sidelined with a neck injury in the first game of the year, Hardwick lost 85 pounds throughout the season and was barely recognizable when announced his retirement at a press conference in February.
Emily Kaplan of theMMQB.com recently caught up with Hardwick — whose life now includes yoga classes, kale salads, and lemon water — and the two discussed what he had to eat to become big enough to play in the NFL.
Hardwick's weight gain started after high school where he did not play football, but was a 6-foot-4, 171-pound wrestler.
