A cancer diagnosis kept Eric Berry off the field. It could not keep him out of the gym.

The Chiefs' Pro Bowl safety said he continued working out despite rounds of chemotherapy. When he was cleared to return after eight months of treatment, Berry had actually gained weight.

Berry admitted there were times he felt like "dying" during these workouts. But he pushed through by labeling the struggle a mental fight over a physical ailment.

The fact that Berry gained weight after chemotherapy is ridiculous and amazing. He is an absolute beast and should be treated as such.
