Every offseason, we hear reports of several players adding significant muscle, which translates to an increase in weight. However, this year, the Bears’ newly acquired wide receiver, Keenan Allen, has done the opposite.
There are reports that Allen gained 20 pounds since the end of last season, bringing his weight to over 230.

This could be a huge blow to Allen’s production on the field, considering he’s always been a quick and nimble player who could have trouble carrying the extra weight.
It’s something NFL fans are already making jokes about.

“Keenan learned about deep dish. The season is cooked,” someone said
“Bro’s been missing those Baja Fish Tacos over here on the beach and been eating too many Deep Dish Pizzas over there in Chicago,” said one commenter.
“If I had to guess he discovered the wonderous delight that is the Italian beef sandwich! Double dipped no less! Yum!” said another about Allen.
