A change in diet led to a change in explosiveness for Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver Brayden Lenius.
The second-season CFL pro has lost 26 pounds since the last time he took the field in 2019. He now weighs in at 215 pounds.
â(I) just want to be more successful in my position and with Cory (Watson) departing last year, I knew I had to take the next step,â Lenius told media on Friday following training-camp practice. âI also got to be with (receivers coach) Travis Moore for the 2020 off-season for a bit before COVID hit.
âIâm now plant-based. Iâm a pescetarian. Iâll still eat fish because Iâm from the coast â I canât not â but the diet played a huge role. But my consistency (working out) over the last 18 months is what did it.â
