NFL players can't do that since there is no summer league and a lot of them need the off season to recover. Interesting comparison even though it seems obviuos.
Going a little further, I think Kyle was trying to make the point of finding the balance between practice reps and training during the football down time and body recovery.
Like if you stay off it too long, they will get in trouble the first time they get back. Just as bad as over working.
