Josh Freeman sheds 20 pounds-- Wed May 9 9:05 pm -- Bucs QB hopes to improve upon 22 interception season
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman has lost roughly 20 pounds in an effort to become more mobile and bounce back from a down season in 2011, according to general manager Mark Dominik.
"You've seen a guy who's completely committed to getting his season back on track and hitting the reset button and getting his game back to hopefully to more of what we saw in 2010 as a young 22-year-old," Dominik said Wednesday on NFL.com's "Cover Two" podcast. "The last couple years, he's been playing around 255-260 (pounds). Right now, he's sitting downstairs (at the team facility) weighing about 235-238."(NFL.com)
FF Today's Take:Freeman was a colossal disappointment to fantasy owners in 2011, throwing nine fewer touchdown passes and 16 more interceptions than he did in his sophomore NFL season in 2010. Just which Freeman will emerge in 2012 isn't easy to determine but he does have a few more offensive weapons at his disposal, most notably wide receiver Vincent Jackson who was acquired through free agency. He'll also have shifty first-round pick Doug Martin in the backfield to complement LeGarrette Blount. The rookie has drawn comparisons to Ray Rice.
