Jason Maxiell cuts 20 pounds

If Jason Maxiell looks like he’s playing leaner this season, that’s because he is. Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press:

"Maxiell, who is listed at 260 pounds, entered training camp 20 pounds lighter than in previous years, and Frank has noticed Maxiell’s improvement through the season.“It just talks about his commitment,” Frank said. “Max has made as much progress as any player from the start of training camp until now. It’s the work he’s put in, not just in the off-season, but from the time training camp started.”"
