Jelly Roll fires the Tennessee Titans up

During his interaction with the Tennessee Titans, the All My Life hitmaker shed light on how the Tennessee Titans contributed to the cultural and communal development of Nashville in recent times. Jelly Roll said he dropped nearly 200 lbs to lead a healthier life, highlighting the significance of determination and strategy.

“I lost 200 pounds,” said Jelly Roll. Boasting of his fitness, the 40-year-old jokingly demanded a football contract from the Nashville-based NFL team. “I told coach I'm getting a contract if I lose another 50,” he added with a smile on his face.

Running the yards on the football field is not the only thing on Jelly Roll’s mind. The rapper, who has suddenly become a fitness freak, had earlier said he wanted to go skydiving.

“I started at 540 pounds, I'm 357 pounds this morning, baby. I'm going to lose another 100 pounds and go skydiving with my wife in Sweden, baby,” Roll told a crowd at a show in Pittsburgh in April, per USA Today.

Jelly Roll on becoming a better person

As he spoke to the young athletes of the Tennessee Titans, Jelly Roll pushed the players to build chemistry on and off the field. Roll said teamwork and a sense of community can do wonders in one’s life. He argued that it leads to the refinement of one’s character.

"I started becoming a better performer when I started becoming a better human,” Roll told the young players. “I started becoming a better songwriter when I started becoming a better husband,” he added.
