Does this outfit make me look fat.

He’s freaking ripped.

It reminds me that when I was in college at a big ten school I played a ton of basketball (intramural sports and such). One day this group of guys came together. They were all like 5’10 to about 6’1 and all absolutely ripped and totally quick twitch. They weren’t great at basketball. Excellent athletes but just kind of awkward in basketball. Compact but super powerful. They were skins so it was even more apparent. We could handle, block out, and drain shots because we played all the time. They were disorganized and not playing all the time but their athleticism was ridiculous compared to normal students. Especially with the synergy of putting them together. But it’s like they were too fast and athletic for their skill set in basketball or at least in terms of playing recently or together.

Anyway, we kicked their ass but their athleticism was off the charts. Eye popping. We had an advantage because we knew how to play, played together all the time, and worked well together. For some reason it didn’t occur to me that they were athletes. I just thought they were workout warrior students. Anyway we started chatting between games. Super nice guys and it turns they were all defensive backs. That pic of Tyreek reminds me of what I’m talking about. The muscle to size ratio is staggering. It’s like a guy who is all muscle.

Regular people forget how phenomenal these guys are as athletes and how powerful and ripped football players are. They can look semi-normal in regular clothes or whatever but man their physicality and athleticism is off the charts.

about 200+ pounds ago i used to run 2-3 hours a day of rec ball back at ECU. On some occasions Blue Edwards a slightly past his prime Blue Edwards (ECU's only college bball player to do **** in the pros) would show up in the gym with his trainer. mind you this is 32-34 year old Edwards.

I think i was one of the few that wasnt dumb enough to get dunked on. Too many of those guys had in their minds "Im gonna block a guy that was his college conferences player of the year, 1st round draft pick, former slam dunk contest challenger" dumbasses.

When i started at my current job back in 99, i had added college weight..alot..but still loved balling. we;d work 7pm-7am, then go to gym a couple hours after work. One of my best friends here when i started played LB/S at some HBCU, he was shorter, but jacked, underarmer everything, ripped, looked like he was wearing a chest plate under his tight ass shirts, he couldnt play bball for ****. Funny part was he used to always talk **** too "I know about that NBA, you dont! I got that natural black advantage on the court". the first time we balled i was like "sure you aint white?"
 
The thing about Tyreek Hill is that he's actually a RB, who just happens to be a better WR than he is a RB given his physical traits.

Physically speaking, he's a RB though.

Years ago when I was in HS (in Forida) a buddy of mine and I were visiting NC. We ended up playing in a pick-up football game with some locals. We were so much better than them at football. We destroyed them. Then later in the week we played with the same guys in a pick-up basketball game. They destroyed us. Athletically, we were pretty similar but, stereo-typically, the guys from Florida (this was in the 80s) played football all the time and the guys from NC played basketball all the time. Each of us just understood the nuances of our sport so much better.

I think of that with players who are great athletes but come in really raw. How much time do you give them to pick up those nuances? How much more does coaching matter in those situations?
