The Titans second-year tackle has put in the work this offseason.
We are about to enter the “everyone is in the best shape of their life” portion of the season. You hear that refrain over and over as teams start training camp. It can be tough to determine when it actually means something and when it is just noise.
With that being said, it sounds like Tennessee Titans tackle JC Latham has made a conscious effort this offseason to cut weight to help him move better and hold up better this season. Latham talked a lot about his weight and where it has been over the years on this week’s episode of Bussin with the Boys. Latham said he played around 360 last season and would like to be under 340 for this season.
The concern with cutting that much weight could be that he would sacrifice some strength, but that shouldn’t be a concern with Latham, who has been described as a “bear on two legs.”
If you haven’t listened to his interview on Bussin, you should do that. He gave a lot of good insight on the thought behind the weight he plays at, as well as some cool stories from high school, college, and throughout the draft process.
