Blink, and you'll miss him.

Rex Ryan, speaking to reporters Thursday during a media blitz in New York, announced that he has dropped 106 pounds since having lap-band surgery in 2010.

Ryan, a paid spokesman for lap-band surgery, is down to 242 pounds. He's actually lighter than QB Tim Tebow, whose prescribed weight for the season is 250.

Good for Ryan. It's an ultra-stressful job, head coach in the NFL, and being healthy never is a bad thing.
