People who have never played have no idea how hard it is to gain weight during the season as a player. You're literally burning a week's worth of calories on gamedays. Throw in the practices and weight room, and it's impossible to outeat your caloric deficit, let alone put on 10 lbs in 3 weeks.
Like the idea is so dumb that it's offensive.
LOL, I gain all kinds of weight during the season NOW. Oh, wait, you said as a player. In college, the training staff made me add ice cream to every lunch and dinner to try and slow my weight loss. That was in addition to me eating a family size Godfather's pizza by myself (with a salad bowl of ranch dressing to dip it in) at least once a week.
Man, I miss having a metabolism.
BUt yeah, there's no way he gained 10 pounds in 3 weeks midseason. Love you mayo, but you're missing the mark on this one.
I might be wrong on this - but, putting on 10 pounds in a month is not a huge thing.
I mean, I could probably do it in a weekend. But a starting WR is probably burning 4000-6000 Calories a day, and it takes over 2000 completely unused Calories to make 1 new pound of fat, So we're talking about this dude consuming 104,000-146,000 Calories in 3 weeks. The average human needs about 42,000 calories in that time frame. That's crazy, imo.
