The 25 Fittest Football Players

Miles Austin – Wide Receiver – Dallas Cowboys

You might not expect a little-known wide receiver from Monmouth University in New Jersey to become one of the NFL’s premiere wide receivers, but you also don’t expect many wideouts to put up the kind of numbers that Miles Austin put up at the 2006 NFL combine. The 6'2", 215-pound receiver posted a 4.47-second 40-yard dash, a 40.5” vertical leap, a 123” broad jump, and he bench pressed 225 pounds a total of 23 times. Those numbers are staggering. Imagine what NFL scouts thought when they first saw Austin overshadowing nearly every prospect that had gone to big name colleges. Physically gifted, to be sure, but it’s Miles’ work ethic during the season and in the offseason that keeps him so fit. He told AOLNews.com, in a 2011 interview, that he continues a steady diet of cardio, yoga and gradual weightlifting to keep his body running smoothly during his time off. Whatever he’s doing, it worked well enough to get a few dates with a certain beautiful Kardashian sister.
