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

Clay Matthews III – Linebacker – Green Bay Packers

A 2011 MF 25 selection, Clay Matthews has ridden his 6'3", 255-pound frame and his long, flowing blonde locks to fame as one of the most recognizable faces in the NFL today. Matthews may have been a walk-on at USC, but he quickly bulked up and started terrorizing opposing quarterbacks on his way to becoming a top prospect for the 2009 NFL Draft (eventually going 26th overall to the Green Bay Packers). At the combine, he impressed scouts with a 4.67 40-yard dash time, by benching 225 pounds a total of 23 times, and logging a 35.5” vertical leap. Matthews stays in peak physical condition by following the Jay Glazer and Randy Couture founded MMAthletics regimen. It’s a high intensity workout (detailed in a FoxSports.com article by Glazer himself) that keeps players like Matthews and Jared Allen ready for anything on the field and helps them become absolute warriors, let alone fantastic football players.
