A lot of people credit cornerback Richard Sherman, quarterback Russell Wilson, running back Marshawn Lynch, and the Legion of Boom secondary for the Seattle Seahawks success in 2010. But Russell Okung also merits a portion of the praise.

Oking, who was selected sixth overall in the 2010 draft, originally had injury problems but then had a breakthrough year. He didn’t miss consecutive games for the first time in his career, becoming one of the league’s top tacklers while defending Wilson and creating room for Lynch to run.

The majority of offensive lineman in the NFL spend their whole careers being overweight. In recent years, an increasing number of them have abandoned everything after retiring.

Russell Okung, a former offensive lineman, is the most recent. On Sunday, he shared a photo of himself in which he seemed leaner than most active players, regardless of position.

He wrote “Reborn” beside a picture of his updated profile in the tweet.

It’s good to see Russell succeeding, as well as every other former athlete who manages to regain a much more normal and healthy body once their playing days are over.

Okung had a playing weight of 310 pounds and a height of six feet, five inches. In his most recent photograph, he appears to be around 220 pounds.

Okung, who was selected in the top 10 in 2010, played in the NFL for eleven seasons, spending six with the Seahawks, one with the Broncos, two with the Chargers, and one with the Panthers.

In Seattle, he won a Super Bowl, and in 2012 and 2017, he was selected for two Pro Bowls.
