There isn’t enough to be said for the benefits of pro-level strength and conditioning, especially for college players entering the NFL. For many of them this is the first time they will go on a specific nutritional system - not just taking two fish oil tablets in the morning, but seriously overhauling their diet - while picking up new workout routines.
Besides the value of in-game experience, it’s often the single-greatest agent of change for many young players. Shaving five- to ten-percent of body fat off while maintaining playing weight gets guys leaner, stronger, and faster. They’re able to recover better and prepare for gametime more efficiently.
