Seattle Seahawks guard D.J. Fluker wants the world to know he’s well past the hamstring injury he dealt with last year, and he’s not planning to let anyone take his starting job in 2020.
While he could have posted a message for fans, or showed himself doing more traditional offseason workouts, Fluker instead decided to make waves by posting a video of himself pulling a truck onto his Twitter account.
Actions speak louder than words…

“Actions speak louder than words,” Fluker wrote in the post, in which he made pulling a truck look rather easy.
Fluker remains under contract for the 2020 season, and while there is speculation he could be cut in order to conserve cap space, for now he is expected to be the team’s starter at right guard.
A dependable run-blocker who is entering his eighth NFL season, Fluker will face competition from Jamarco Jones, Phil Haynes, Jordan Simmons and potentially Ethan Pocic during training camp.
If this video has proven anything however, it’s that Fluker will be more than up for the challenge.
