the way he described it, is that contrary to popular belief, in college, this is basically a part time job for these guys and once they get in the league, it's 24 7 football.
And nutrition is stressed to a level with them, even I didn't believe

The nutrition part makes sense given the finances available. However I'm sure after talking to him you know someone saying "x player just needs hit the weights for a few years" is pretty silly given most have been hitting weights for nearly a decade already. It's more about the aging process of boys becoming men and eventually getting that "old man strength" than acting like these guys haven't touched a weight their entire life prior the being drafted and playing in the NFL.
The weight thing is just a huge pet peeve of mind. Probably because it's one of the few things I know shit about
