As fans, we recognize that football players are usually larger than life figures. Even small-time college players with no hope of playing in the NFL are far bigger than the average person. In the off season, players put a lot of work in, both eating and lifting, to get as big and strong as possible without losing their mobility and athleticism. It’s really quite extraordinary.
