LenDale White Stops Excessively Drinking Tequila, Loses Over 30 Pounds



Titansonline.com: LenDale White came into Titans camp this year having lost more than 30 pounds in the offseason. How did White lose the weight? He says it's because he stopped drinking tequila. My reaction to this story is twofold: first, the guy must really drink A LOT of tequila. I've never met anybody who drinks so much tequila on a daily basis that cutting it out of their diet would lead to a weight loss of over 30 pounds in six months. I can only imagine what other health benefits will come from this drastic change. The second part of my reaction is that this Tennessee running game is going to be even scarier than last year. LenDale White has been overweight ever since his last college game. This healthier weight will make him quicker, more versatile, and able to take on a larger load in terms of carries. White's weight loss and a more equal distribution of carries will lead to he and Chris Johnson both being fresher at the end of games.

Also, I had both White and Johnson in fantasy last year, and it was great. Johnson went over 100 yards seemingly every week, and White always scored TDs. This news may make White a more attractive pick, but it doesn't lower Johnson's stock any. He will get his for sure.
