The Facts: West said on Instagram his goal is to enter next season weighing 215 pounds so he can be quicker and more nimble when hitting holes and juking defensive backs in the open field.

Diehards Line: West posted that he weighed 228 pounds when the NFL season ended with 13.7 percent body fat. He wasn’t exactly proud of that number. To compare, Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is listed at 215 pounds and Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray weighs 217 pounds. To shed the weight, cardio has been West’s focus in recent weeks, specifically boxing. West showed enough in 2014 to believe he can be a building block for the Browns offense. His 673 rushing yards led Cleveland’s rushing attack, which tallied 1,728 yards – the most by the franchise since 2009. His partner in the backfield, Isaiah Crowell, also certified himself as an NFL-caliber back during an uplifting rookie season. Furthermore, offensive coordinator John DeFilippo reiterated the Browns will be lining up playmakers in different spots next season. If West loses weight and improves his speed, there is reason to believe he could become a much larger part of the passing game.
