It is crazy to see how quickly some guys lose their "football" weight once they get off the 5,000 calorie/day diet and hours in the weight room. Joe Thomas lost something like 45 pounds in less than three months. He looked more like a marathoner.

For the very quick transformations of guys like Thomas and Gronk, I'm guessing that they have the same dedication to getting the weight off as they had to keeping it on.

It wouldn't surprise me if they went from 5K to 1K calories and weightlifting to cardio all day with a flip of a switch.

These guys just don't have the same relationships with food and exercise that the rest of us do.

MIAMI -- Dolphins defensive tackle Kendrick Norton is starting his recovery from a car accident that led to the amputation of his left arm this week. The NFL stepped in with some help Tuesday morning telling Norton that all of his medical bills will be covered, per his agent Malki Kawa.

Norton posted a message on his Instagram story on Monday giving a thumbs up and the words: "I'm good thank you to everyone that checked on me!!! I'm good thanks for the prayers to God be the glory."

Russell Wilson: DK Metcalf is "looking really, really special"

The Seahawks may have gotten in 2019 a steal on par with the steal they got in 2012.
Seven years after landing quarterback Russell Wilson in round three (the Jaguars took a punter with Wilson still on the board), the Seahawks traded up to the bottom of round two to grab receiver DK Metcalf. Wilson really likes what he sees so far from the rookie.
"Well, it's great seeing DK make his plays," Wilson told reporters on Wednesday. "I think DK is looking really, really special. He can do anything and everything and he's tremendous."
Metcalf generated plenty of pre-draft buzz given his size, physique, and speed. But a history of injuries coupled with a reputation for having a limited route tree dragged him out of round one and almost into round three.
Coach Pete Carroll has no qualms about throwing rookies into the fray, as he did with Wilson. Given the absence of Doug Baldwin, the Seahawks have a need at the position, and Metcalf could fill it right away.

#Wilsonspeak (Notice how Jimmy G doesn't overhype his skill players in media interviews. He'd rather undersell and over-deliver than the opposite.)

What bothers me most is that they intentionally do it wrong to be talked about.

Anyone putting Aikman in the top 10 has not been paying attention. If any QB has ever been carried by the team around him, it was Aikman.

Very good QB? Yes.

Top 10?
