Former Georgia running back Elijah Holyfield has had a tough time getting his NFL career on track. But whatever the reasons for his struggles, failing to hit the gym is definitely NOT one of them.
Holyfield is still looking for an NFL team as teams continue training camp. To that end, he’s been training and recently shared a video of the results: He’s absolutely ripped.
Holyfield looks like he’s getting ready to compete in a bodybuilding contest with the physique he’s rocking right now.
The video shared by NFL Rookie Watch has over one million views since yesterday with over 3,000 likes and 300 retweets.

But while many were stunned by the upper body physique that Holyfield seems to have, many more pointed out that it’s not enough to make him an NFL-quality player.
“He too stiff. Def is jacked tho,” one user wrote.
“Bruh slow as hell man he should of slim down some work on speed cause man,” wrote another.
“His strides are way too short, he’s limiting his speed by running so tight,” a third pointed out.
It’s tough making it in the NFL, no matter how much you train or work out.
