Former NFL Linebacker now Runs Marathon...then and now photos

Faneca, who retired after the 2010 season, lost 70 pounds in the three months after retirement, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. He has lost plenty more since then.
He told the Times-Picayune how he got the urge to run marathons.
“One day I ran around doing about 7 miles, and that got the competitive juices flowing," Faneca said. "So I started thinking about doing the half (marathon) and running longer distances."
Not many offensive linemen dream of running marathons. But then again, Faneca looks nothing like an offensive lineman anymore.
