First, as far as FF WR's go, this guy is one of the worst. In fact, I read something a few weeks ago that said last year, he had the worst statistical season of any #2 WR in NFL history. That being said, check out what he's done this off-season-

"Maintaining my weight is probably the hardest thing for me because I'm not a big eater. In the offseason, if I'm traveling or doing something unrelated to football, I probably only eat a couple times a day. Down in Arizona, though, I'd say the main part of my training regimen was eating. I ate six meals per day with the lighter meals later in the day and the heavier meals in the morning.
* My breakfast would consist of a 16-ounce T-bone steak and 10 egg whites. That would be the meal I'd eat before I'd train.
* Right after I'd train, I'd eat two chicken breasts and 8-10 egg whites.
* After that I'd eat fish-maybe 12 ounces of Ahi Tuna, broccoli and a baked potato.
* My fourth meal would be chicken, broccoli, and a baked potato.
* My fifth meal would be a lamb chop or rack of lamb.
* And finally my sixth meal would be fish again.
The tough thing about eating like that is if I ate my breakfast too late or if I didn't eat my in-between meals in time, then I'd be up late trying to finish eating. Seriously -- there were a few nights when I'd fall asleep on the couch while trying to catch up with my eating.
So that was pretty much the way I was able to get stronger--and thus get bigger.
I think my ideal playing weight is 200 pounds. It feels really good. People will look at it and think, "Wow--he went from 185 pounds two years ago to 200 pounds now." They look at that 15 pounds and say, "Wow, he's going to be stiff, he can't run."
I think what's been most surprising to people is that I still have all the same flexibility. I'm not tight, I still have all my range of motion and my stride. In fact, I'm actually running a lot better. It's not that I've just gained weight, I've gained muscle and I've gotten stronger. I'm also a lot more explosive than I was. You can see it in my first couple steps off the line of scrimmage after the ball is snapped, and also running after the catch."
Okay, can you imagine eating 20 eggs a day?!?
A steak for breakfast? And then to workout right after eating that breakfast?
