John Sullivan joined the Rams in 2017 as part of the team’s makeover when Sean McVay arrived. He spent two years as the starting center, but last offseason, the Rams declined his option for 2019 and he became a free agent.

While he didn’t officially announce his retirement from the NFL, it’s safe to say he’s not going back to playing football. Sullivan has slimmed down considerably, shedding more than 70 pounds since the last time he suited up.

He shared this photo on Instagram showing his new physique, saying that he’s down to 240 pounds. He was last listed at 312 pounds when he was with the Rams.

Here’s a photo of Sullivan before Super Bowl LIII a year ago, just to show his transformation.

Sullivan isn’t the first player to drop significant weight after leaving the NFL. Joe Thomas did the same, as has former Colts center Jeff Saturday. Both have transitioned to analyst careers.

Some fans were holding out hope last season that Sullivan might re-join the Rams after Brian Allen landed on IR, but it’s now clear that was never going to happen.

I so don't need the pic to know that he's way smaller.

Diet and drugs is what's putting these guys over 300 LBs.

I bet he's happy. Tying up his shoelaces will be so much easier now.

Not shocking, lineman are basically required to eat 6000+ calories daily. Even halfing that will result in extreme weight lose.
