Look: Lions LB Jarrad Davis has gained 20 pounds of muscle

Lions linebacker Jarrad Davis is entering a make-or-break year in Detroit. The 2017 first-round pick is attacking the challenge by transforming his physique.

Davis has been working with a personal trainer and the results are impressive. He played at 227 pounds in 2019 and decided he wanted to add more thump to his game. Now Davis tips the scales at a rocked-up 248, adding 20 pounds but shedding five percent of his body fat in the process.

Thanks to his trainer, David Lawrence, and Michigan Elite Conditioning for the stunning before (taken in March 2019) and after photos of the impressive transformation.
