The 25 Fittest Football Players

The 2012 NFL preseason is just around the corner, and while hordes of fans are sitting on their couches, chomping potato chips, drinking beer and waiting for their favorite teams to suit up and play, the league’s brightest stars have already been hard at work getting into the best shape of their lives. Off-season workouts are over and camp is about to start where the real football work gets done, so we decided it was the perfect time to run down the league’s fittest football players.

Nearly every player in the NFL is already an elite athlete, but these 25 players are a notch above the rest. These are the guys that you’ll find in the gym seven days a week, year round. These are the guys that don’t take a break from their diets to pig out on hot dog-stuffed crust pizza. And these are the guys that will, undoubtedly, make some of the most significant differences in the games you’ll see this year.
