These current NFL players spend their time off the field hitting the gym rather than dog fighting or racking up DUIs.

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.

The 25 Fittest Football Players

Larry Fitzgerald – Wide Receiver – Arizona Cardinals

If you’re surprised the 6'3", 218-pound wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, Larry Fitzgerald, is on this list, you shouldn't be. The third overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft made our 2009 MF 25 list where we talked about how Fitzgerald uses his off-season to strengthen his speed and leaping ability by concentrating on “box jumps and track drills.” Not only that, but this genetic freak and EAS Sports Nutrition athlete is one of the very best receivers in the league, having lead Arizona all the way to Super Bowl XLIII and grabbing the 2009 Pro Bowl MVP. We even profiled the All Pro’s entire workout, which includes hurdle drills, chute drills, medicine ball sit-ups, and power snatches to go along with those explosive box jumps. All this leads to one lean mean football machine that’s going to be a Cardinals receiver for a long time as Fitzgerald just inked an eight-year, $120 million contract extension. Maybe now he can start box jumping on boxes filled with hundred dollar bills; that should give his legs a workout!
