D.J. Fluker's insane body transformation as former first-round draft pick packs on muscle ahead of N

OVER two years on from his last NFL appearance and D.J. Fulker looks almost unrecognizable.

Formerly a first-round pick out of Alabama, 32-year-old Fluker hasn't played since the 2020 postseason while a member of the Baltimore Ravens.

But now, Fluker has announced his intention to give the NFL another chance, showing off his newly chiseled physique in an Instagram post.

Standing tall at 6ft5 and looking bulked up at 330 pounds, he captioned his workout shots: "Y’all thought I was done. Y’all thought I couldn’t lean out and get [100 emoji] healthy.

"Y’all thought it was impossible. Y’all though it was a FLUKE.

"The only thing impossible in my life is giving up. That’s impossible for me.

This will seemingly be Fluker's lightest playing weight as a pro, having previously hovered around the 340-pound mark.

When measuring in at the NFL Combine in 2013, he was listed at 339 pounds.

And when briefly a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars back in December 2021, Fluker weighed in at 342 pounds.

Now physically ready to return, Fluker is set to work out at Alabama's Pro Day, per Jordan Schultz.

And as far as he's concerned, he is ready to pick up where he left off with his playing career, commenting in a tweet: "Don’t ever forget how to play ball.

A three-time National Champion with the Crimson Tide, Fluker headed for the NFL after being named a First-Team All-American and First-Team All-SEC member in 2021.

Drafted eleventh overall by the San Diego Chargers, he spent four years on the West Coast as a starter, before a year with the New York Giants, two with the Seattle Seahawks, and one with the Ravens.

In eight years on active rosters, Fluker made 108 appearances (starting 96), and another seven in the Playoffs.
