We knew that former Dallas Cowboy All-Pro Lineman Nate Newton had lost a lot of weight recently. The story about Newton’s drastic weight loss broke in November of 2010, and we learned then about how Newton – who had tipped the scales at 325 pounds in his playing days, and added on another 75 after he quit the game - had dropped 175 pounds in just six months thanks to a “gastric sleeve” surgical procedure, saving his life and becoming nearly unrecognizable in the process.

But we still had to do a double (if not triple)-take when the man who used to be known as “The Kitchen” appeared on ESPN’s First Take this week as a guest analyst, looking absolutely nothing like his former self. As thin as he was around this time last year, it looks as though Newton has lost even more weight, and may have reached his ultimate goal of getting below 200 pounds.

Either way, it’s still a bit startling to realize that he’s the same person who won three Super Bowl rings with the Cowboys while pushing around the big boys in the trenches. But it’s definitely good to see that Newton is still keeping the weight off, and maintaining his healthy lifestyle. Good for him.
