New York head coach Brian Daboll has lost significant weight ahead of the 2024 season. No, we're not talking about the 234 pounds the Giants lost as a team by letting Saquon Barkley walk to the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency.

Daboll lost 50 pounds in the offseason and returned to training camp slimmed down. Here's everything you need to know about his dramatic weight loss.

Losing 50 pounds is no easy task. Daboll was asked what all contributed to his weight loss and he gave a simple answer.

Pilates!

Daboll's interest in Pilates blossomed into a love and he was hooked. The head coach also did the normal thing when you do Pilates: tell everyone about it. His secret came to light through his GM Joe Schoen, who had told NFL reporter Kay Adams about Daboll's enthusiasm for the practice.
