Well considering I'm a bodybuilder and take muay thai I eat 5200 calories a day and I find it incredibly easy if you're dedicated, and I'm not getting paid millions to do so lol.
The hardest/tedious part is preparing the meal. They should do everything it takes to put on weight. Or their needs to be better training staff for minor leagues to educate these players on what and how much to eat. I'm guessing in another 10 years most of draft picks will already be 200~ pounds and ripped lol.
Exactly why you see some rookies bench 300 pounds. I guess some players don't understand that you can get better through multiple fascists of the game...speed,strength,intelligence,flexibility,siz e,energy,hormones,equipment.
If I was managing a team everyone would be expected to be actively becoming the best in every single one of those areas.
