Your body cannot maintain it's weight with the vigors of the NFL season. Players who play and practice every week and finish the season at or bigger than they started, you can take to the bank they are on roids, ESPECIALLY RB'S.
All he's doing though is creating an even playing field, do you really believe at 30 Tiki all of a sudden started running people over, and breaking tackle, after tackle? Come on now. I really am not bashing him for it, whats a player to do when everyone else he runs into is twice the size they should be?

Um, wrong again, Flanders. I swam for U of Richmond 5 years ago during my college days. My coach told me between my Junior and Senior years that he wanted me swimming at 200 instead of 190. My junior season ended in March and by August I had gained the 10 pounds with no change in body fat %. And Portis is a much, much more finely tuned athlete than I ever was, by any stretch of the imagination. I was 21 when I did that, Portis was 23 when he gained his 15. Believe it or not, it's doable, especially for young guys.
It's not so easy to do when you have a full time job. But if you have 20 hours a week during the school year like a college student, or an NFL offseason where working out is your job, it's very doable.
