There was no summer break for Green Bay Packers rookie Rashan Gary.

The 12th overall pick in the 2019 draft used the five weeks between the end of mandatory minicamp and the start of training camp to push his body to a new level.

According to Wes Hodkiewicz of the team’s official site, Gary – who weighs 277 pounds – reported to camp at 10 percent body fat, accomplishing one of his goals.

“I felt that looking at guys like Aaron Donald in the league, you look at their body, you see how they perform and you see what type of training they can do – I wanted to take my body to the next level,” Gary said. “So for me, getting down to 10 percent, that was a big thing for me and I can definitely tell the difference.”

Shaving three or four percent of body fat off his frame could help Gary maximize his immense potential as a rookie in Mike Pettine’s scheme. He’s expected to play a variety of roles, such as standing up as an outside linebacker and putting his hand in the dirt and rushing from the inside.

Gary called himself “an athlete” when asked about his best position.

He certainly isn’t short on athleticism. At 277 pounds, Gary is the heaviest player to ever run the 40-yard dash under 4.6 seconds. He finished the drill in 4.58 seconds at the combine. The former Michigan star also hit 38″ in the vertical leap and benched press 225 pounds 26 times, proving his lower-body explosiveness and upper-body strength.

According to Hodkiewicz, Gary trained in the sand during the five-week break to improve his strength and movement ability on normal playing surfaces.

The Packers are hoping Gary can transform into a lean, mean, pass-rushing machine as a rookie. He certainly looks the part to start training camp.
