Are diets good for football players? -

im currently doing a weight loss program, trying to get in better shape. im 6 3 287. and was wondering if im doing it right. I dont want to make people like wow! he lost so much weight! i dont want that, i want to go down to 265 but i want proper work out and make sure i dont shrink because i am doing football next year and right tackle is my position. Please give me some suggestions and please be positive.

i think you should lose your weight to abought 180 lb or so and build lots of muscle because more fit being around the 180 lb zone .
