Ali Marpet shocked Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans when he announced his retirement three months ago. The former offensive lineman has since spoken about wanting to live a healthier lifestyle, and it looks like he is off to an outstanding start.
Marpet was listed at 307 pounds on the Bucs’ official roster last season. The 28-year-old shared some photos of himself shirtless on a boat over the weekend, and he was barely recognizable. We mean that in a good way.
Super Bowl champion Ali Marpet went from over 300+ pounds to this shape only a few months after his last NFL season ended.

Many linemen have lost a bunch of weight after they retire, as being huge is no longer a job requirement. Very few have done it that quickly, of course.
Marpet, who made the Pro Bowl last season, has only been retired for a few month. It’s incredible that he was able to lose that much weight in such a short period of time.
