The 6-foot-6 Latham, who is listed at 342 pounds on the team’s current roster sheet, said he ballooned to “365 to 370 pounds” at the end of last year.<\/p>\n
Latham said he currently weighs 337 pounds, which was below the team’s goal of being in the 340-345 range, and he wants to play at 325 pounds in 2025.<\/p>\n
“Looking at a lot of the top tackles in the league,” Latham said, “the majority of them are 320-325, or anywhere less, depending on their play style. So, I know they wanted me at 340, but we talked about it, getting to that 325-range is where I need to be.”<\/p>\n
Latham said he changed his diet after meeting with nutrition coordinator Lauren Silvio, and he got a plan for an ideal weight. He began counting the calories he can consume each day, and he followed a meal plan. He’s cut out fast food, and is now eating more fish, and granola bars.<\/p>\n
He can tell a difference in the weight loss in the offseason program.<\/p>\n
“The conditioning, the running in between,” Latham said. “In plays, in drills, being able to finish a lot longer, move a lot more fluid, the foot speed. Everything (feels better) because when you have weight on you it is going to slow you down in your movement.”<\/p>\n
In addition to his weight change, Latham is also changing positions.<\/p>\n
With the addition of veteran Dan Moore Jr., who will play left tackle, Latham is now working at right tackle, a position he played at the University of Alabama.<\/p>\n
Latham said he’s happy with the switch, and he feels comfortable.<\/p>\n
“I’m a team player, so wherever they need me to play, I’ll play anywhere,” Latham said. “It’s all about the team and whatever I can do to help the team win, it’s what it’s all about it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 6-foot-6 Latham, who is listed at 342 pounds on the team’s current roster sheet, said he ballooned…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88289,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2061],"tags":[7,786,8059,6,1018,526,394,2411,527],"class_list":{"0":"post-88288","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-homepage-centerpiece","10":"tag-jc-latham","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-team-football-news","13":"tag-tennessee","14":"tag-tennessee-titans","15":"tag-tennesseetitans","16":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114591844660444513","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88288\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
