And there have been players in the NFL at age 20, Amobi Okoye was 19 when he was drafted by Houston.

To me all this stength stuff is moot anyway, football is a total different game and skilled NHL players don't need to pound people to be effective.
Not to get too off topic, but there are maybe one or two kids a year who could hang in the NFL two years out of high school.
