Steelers Universe

Matt Birk had to put on the weight throughout his NFL career as an offensive lineman. The Super Bowl winner had a playing weight of around 310 pounds, but Birk underwent a massive transformation after hanging up his cleats.

Birk dropped 10 inches off his waistline and 75 pounds, and looks nearly unrecognizable these days.

The 2011 Walter Payton Man of the Year recipient spoke on the dramatic change after his retirement in 2013:

“All I knew was being big … Now I’m not so big and I’m loving it. I think I’ve really developed a lifestyle that I can sustain now.”

Birk noted that a lifestyle change was needed after dealing with health problems due to bad eating habits, along with his weight concerns soon after retirement.

Those poor eating habits played a part in Matt Birk getting varicose veins. Varicose veins are when diminished valves are distorted and bigger, putting more pressure on the veins.

The 46-year-old also said that he feels better thanks to the weight loss and how it’s shaped his life:

“It really has changed my life that I used to know. I feel great physically, and I’ve got tons of energy.”
