Andrei Iosivas
Tacks on 15 pounds ahead of Year 3
Iosivas put on 15 pounds in the offseason but believes he's playing as fast as ever with the added weight heading into 2025, per Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site. "I think it's helping me," Iosivas said of the added bulk. "I'm stronger out of my breaks. Quicker. I can put more power into the ground so I can push off faster. People's bodies are built differently. When I put on the weight, it was beneficial to me."
