Andrus Peat looks like a new man this offseason.

Peat, who will always be monstrous at 6-foot-7 and more than 300 pounds, is visibly leaner than he was as a rookie, carrying a burly NBA power forward’s torso atop his massive lower body.

By design, he hasn’t lost much weight, only a few pounds off of the roughly 320-pound frame he carried last season. Peat’s overall weight wasn’t the problem when the Saints opened training camp last August; the way that weight was distributed is what set him back. With that in mind, Peat spent the months after his rookie year working hard to turn fat into muscle.



“I really just focused on changing my body composition and kind of leaning up a little bit,” Peat said. “I’m feeling better, that’s the biggest thing. More energy in practice, I’m doing better in conditioning and those types of things. I’m still working at it.”
