Slimming down is the proper way to put Hyde's slight transformation. The running back said he's currently at his desired weight of 225 pounds. That's just a seven-pound difference from the 232 pounds Hyde weighed Week 1 last season.
Hyde commented on rumors that he lost the weight in preparation for Chip Kelly's fast-paced offense. In reality, that decision was simply a personal choice.
"I'm just slimming down for myself," the running back said. "I just don't want to be weighing too much. I wanted to be slim for a change. Something different."
