He is naturally an athlete...I wonder what he didnt have to be a pro football player...just commentating on what he said before his routine...how he always wanted to be a pro football plyer...

Wasnt he a linebacker in college? I remember seeing pics of him and he was huge even naturally, while playing football...

Maybe some type of injury prevented him from playing football as a pro?

Yes, it's true. He had an injury.
It seems he could have been good at it.

No offense but football players physiques are nothing compared to bodybuilders. The heavy large guys are like at 30%+ bodyfat percentage levels. With the *talent*, and enough $$ to eat large Ronnie could've been in fball.

when ronnie graduated in like 89, linebackers werent that big.

besides, no one said he was going to be like lawrence taylor, but he could have been a backup, safety, or played special teams.

He gave up being an athlete when he became a bodybuilder!

I'm 5'11 235 lbs drug free. If I could get to 235, why couldn't Ronnie? He might be 200 lbs ripped, but there is no reason to be ripped playing football. And by the way, there are running backs and db's under 200lbs.

ARe you guys really that dumb?

Strength means dick. Speed is more important. Control, agility, reaction time. ACTUAL SKILL.

Big Muscles don`t translate into much of anything. Power is nothing without control.

Athletes all have respective bodytypes and a PRO bodybuilder is not suited for much of any.

Being a bodybuilder doesn`t automatically make you a gifted athlete or fighter or anything.

Some of the best athletes don`t even lift weights.

Only a few football players are "big." Most players are around 6 feet 230 pounds.
Muscle means shit in football, you need TALENT.

avg qb 6'4 225 lbs

If you guys think Ronnies ability to get huge has any bearing on his football skills you need to watch more football. Ronnie did not have the size nor speed needed to come even close being a linebacker in the nfl. 5'11 200 bills aint shit in the nfl. For a linebacker that is miniscule. He couldent take all the shit he does now either. I would love to see some of the most elite physical freaks in the nfl bodybuild. Now that would be something to see.

Not saying Ronnie was not a decent athlete. But suprised he is not a pro football player? Why since he can get huge of tons of drugs and working out as a job? Ronnie was VERY impressive against the average sized guy. But he was a twerp compared to some of the freaks that play in the NFL.
