Porter Gustin (failer of PED tests)

SKULL SESSION: OHIO STATE'S DOMINATING DEFENSIVE LINE, DWAYNE HASKINS' TIGHT END DAYS, AND TUF BORLAND'S NAME CHANGE

THE MOST FOOTBALL FOOTBALL PLAYER
. Some of you recruitniks might remember Ohio State's late push to land Porter Gustin in its 2015 class. Ultimately Gustin went to USC, but that's not going to stop me from appreciating the hell out of a guy who's basically a caricature of a football player.

From SI.com

He consumes more than 10,000 calories a day, blends most of his meals into greenish shakes and eats so many sweet potatoes that the soles of his feet and palms of his hands are an unnatural shade of orange. He has played a football game with a cast on each hand and two bloody screws protruding from a swollen big toe.

He is missing an upper tooth, dislodged during another game, has hair down to his shoulder blades and completes 300 pushups and 300 situps before bed each night. He drinks more than two gallons of water a day, hasn’t had a good piece of deep fried food since he was 14 and plays a position on the football field dubbed “Predator.”

...

To understand Gustin and that freakish body of his, you must understand his incredibly unique nutritional habits and workout regimen. “I’ll just give you today as an example,” he says. On this particular Friday in July, Gustin woke up at 4:10 a.m., chugged a Muscle Milk protein shake while lying in bed and then at 4:45 a.m. consumed his first of about a half-dozen blended meals. The other five are woven between a 5 a.m. stretching routine, conditioning drills at six, two weightlifting sessions, outdoor sled work that he watches later on video and a soft-tissue massage around 11. “His diet and the way he works out isn’t for most people,” fellow linebacker Cameron Smith says. “You don’t suddenly turn that on and then you’re Porter.”

Even he admits that his blended meals are gross. Their greenish-brown color makes his coach uneasy, and their stomach-churning aroma chases his father John from the room. Gustin’s most common blended meal includes chicken, sweet potato, brown rice, broccoli, spinach, a splash of water and a full bottle of Muscle Milk. He sometimes throws in salmon—that’s when the smell is strongest. “It just tastes awful,” he laughs. “The fish are the worst.”

Every bit of that is a nope parade for me – except for the soft tissue massage he receives every day – but I'm quite glad that I can appreciate him from afar. See, he seems like the type of person that I'm not sure I'd ever actually want to be around, but I want to exist because he sounds like a folk hero.

Just do steroids you nut. It’ll be easier and result in the exact same career in the NFL (that is to say, not much of one since you apparently have to resort to such gimmicky bullshit rather than just being good).

Jeez. That's pretty harsh for no apparent reason?

a few points:

1. steroids alone don't make you strong. unless you're cutting, those on gear eat a lot. a lot a lot.

2. i'm not saying gustin is on steroids or is not on steroids. however, i'd be shocked if most off-season transformations (at any program) don't happen without a little "help." anytime i see a guy with delts like balloons and especially cobra traps, well...

3. if gustin's not using gear, then maybe it's because he doesn't want cushing's tits.

The guy is basically torturing himself. If the goal is to make it to the NFL than just do steroids and don’t torture yourself is all I’m saying.

That and a lot of guys make it to the NFL without torturing themselves - albeit they all work out and eat right, this is extreme.

Thats disgusting... That said to maintain his size and if he's not a big eater then that's a good way to get calories. Still though thats gross

I feel like some middle ground exists between steroids & no processed sugars and a salmon+muscle milk smoothie.
That is my point- as far as I know literally everyone in the NFL is in that middle ground. The fact that this kid has to go to these extremes makes me think he doesn’t have much of a career in the NFL ahead of him.

My apologies for saying it in a mean/sarcastic way.
