Slimmer Mullins eager for Saturday

Posted Sep 1, 2009
For UNC defensive tackle Aleric Mullins, Saturday night’s season opener will be his first opportunity to try out his slimmer, more mobile frame. After playing at well over 300 pounds throughout the 2008 season, Mullins has dropped considerable mass and is noticeably slimmer. He says he’ll be playing at approximately 295 pounds this season. “I dropped a lot of body fat, and it’s going to help me out there on Saturdays,” said Mullins (Rivals.com)
