Bills rookie defensive tackle Michael Jasper has lost 73 pounds since leaving Middle Tennessee State after his sophomore year to transfer to Bethel.
Jasper is down to 375 pounds -- still big, even by NFL standards, but nowhere near the 448 pounds he carried not so long ago.
"(Bills regional scout) Matt Hand made a deal with me initially, saying they wanted me under 400 pounds," Jasper told the Tennessean. "After the draft, I talked with coach (Chan) Gailey, and he said just to keep working hard and keep the weight off."
Buffalo drafted Jasper in the seventh round.
