Russell Okung discussed details of the fast — which ended over the weekend — in videos that he uploaded to Twitter on Monday.
Former Pro Bowl left tackle Russell Okung revealed Monday night that he's lost over 100 pounds since his NFL playing days, thanks to a remarkable 40-day fast.
Two-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion Russell Okung revealed details of his remarkable physical transformation after three years off the football field.
Russell Okung may have never been called “fast” during his 11-year NFL career. But now, he’s embraced a different kind of fast in finding life after football.
Russell Okung retired from football, but he certainly didn't retire from hitting the gym. The former Carolina Panthers offensive tackle posted a picture of his body transformation on Twitter Sunday evening, one that almost makes him unrecognizable.
Professional athletes must often find new life when their playing days are over, and that’s exactly what former Carolina Panthers offensive lineman Russell Okung has done.
The Panthers head into the 2021 season with a familiar problem: there’s no clear starter at the left tackle position.With only a couple weeks before training camp begins, the frontrunner appears to be Cameron Erving.
Entering 2020, guard Trai Turner was coming off his fifth consecutive Pro Bowl selection for Carolina. But with a need at left tackle, the Panthers sent Turner to the Chargers for Russell Okung.
A year ago, the Carolina Panthers dealt Trai Turner to the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for left tackle Russell Okung. The trade ended up being a fail for both sides as Turner played in nine games while Okung appeared in just seven.
That Trai Turner for Russell Okung deal didn’t benefit either side much, as it turns out. Okung missed nine games in Carolina and is currently a free agent.
Tuesday afternoon, the Carolina Panthers announced that offensive tackle Trent Scott and the team had agreed on a one-year deal. Scott appeared in 14 games this past season and also made four starts filling in for the injured Russell Okung.
The 32-year-old signed a four-year, $53 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2017 before being traded to Carolina in March.
Okung missed 10 games last season with a pulmonary embolism due to blood clots and likely is at higher risk of coronavirus infection.
