This sounds like humblebragging, but I'm friends with a lot of former NFL players (I think one active), and I just know how funky this is for your 6'7 OL guy who begins as a backup but becomes an elite starting tackle compared to a 5'9 CB who played a year for our Cardinals. (The OT didn't play for us, btw.)
Of course it's much better than anyone else has it, but it's not perfect. Just, fly from Vegas to NYC and tell me how easy it is, much less be at peak performance to go hit people in the face earlier than we start our days on the computer.
That sounds confrontational, I think, I didn't mean it to be, haha.
