From one big guy to another, what the heck is the secret for Jordan Davis?

The Philadelphia Eagles’ mountain of a defensive tackle, off to such an impressive start to his fourth NFL season, has revealed a new-and-improved version of himself after losing 26 pounds during the offseason. This might be inspiring for any of us needing to drop a bit of extra weight.

“It’s really just cutting out the sweets for me,” Davis told USA TODAY Sports during a recent interview.

Call it a classic case of addition by subtraction.

Davis, listed at 6-6, 336 pounds, provided one of the most riveting highlights from Week 3 in the NFL with his 61-yard touchdown return of a blocked field goal on Sunday that put the finishing touch on Philadelphia’s comeback victory against the Los Angeles Rams.
