I hear you talkin but I'll wait for the walkin, for the proof is in the puddin. To avoid injuries you have to stay in monster shape, just ask Jerry Rice. And in order to stay in monster shape you have to go the extra mile, for being good is one thing but being great is totally something different for it puts you in an elite class with just a few other people. In football during the off season exercise, during preseason exercise, during regular season exercise, and it's not just about exercise, you have to eat right and get the necessary sleep for your body to perform in this state of total fitness, this is what it takes, for football is a game of injuries, and to make it through your career with the least amount of injuries you truly have to be in more than tip top shape, you have to be in monster shape. And that takes dedication, conviction, and denying yourself of not all but a lot of what we call life pleasures like staying away from illicit drugs and alcohol and the party, you know treating your body like it's God's temple. Also mental fitness is a part of this and being in the right frame of mind, But that is just for those who want to have a great career in the NFL and not just a good career in the NFL filled with injuries!!!
