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.

Maurice Jones-Drew – Running Back – Jacksonville Jaguars

Another guy that’s short in stature, but packs a whole lot of power is Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew. With powerhouse fullback Greg Jones blocking in front of him, the 5'7", 208-pound Jones-Drew is able to realize the full potential of his 4.39-second 40-yard dash speed and his 36” vertical leap. Talk about strong legs! That’s one insanely quick running back. Not to mention the fact that he posted 18 reps of the 225-pound bench press and routinely runs right through defensive backs trying to take him down.

Jones-Drew made Men’s Fitness’ previous list of fittest NFL players where he credited the help of “core-building exercises” for giving him the power and explosiveness Jaguars fans have come to know and love. Oh, and they also helped give him a physique worthy of ESPN The Magazine’s Annual Body Issue. Well, well, well.
