Has to be active and resting combined

No way he burns 4500 active calories during a game.

He plays 130+ snaps a game. Not that outlandish to me

I’ve been on training regiments that made me eat and catalog 10k cals a day. During he bulk up phase. It was nothing for me to burn 4k in a four hour gym session. According to the nutritionist and trainers. A four hour game. Sprinting. Yeah. Every down both sides of the ball. 4500 is a low end guesstimation.

I would wonder if pro teams wouldn't look at him playing all those snaps, both sides of the ball, and think about his endurance with all the hits he's taken and delivered. Think about teams that draft a RB: they want a proven, but low-mileage back. Would they think twice about Hunter?

Absolutely not. In high school I never came off the field. Other elite athletes did the same. I wasn’t elite but I wasn’t a bum either. Doesn’t hurt any players stock. It drives it up. Hunter will be a top 5 pick.

Pro cyclists can burn 5,000 to 7,000 calories per stage in a race

Then turn around and do it again the next day, the day after that, etc. 120,000 calories over 3 weeks in a grand tour.

That’s BS.

I did the hincapie last year. 83 miles of riding, 8,000+ ft of climbing, 5 hour finish time, 198w average and I barely burned over 4,000 calories.

It’s just not possible.

According to what? Your Apple Watch? That’s not a viable calories burned apparatus. I have done that type of research in college. Those numbers are real. 400 watts * 1 hour * 3.6=1440 kcal. All “calories” are in fact 1000 actual calories. Like that 10 calorie snack is 10 kcal. Sprinting can burn more calories than sustained long term muscle use. Bikers don’t typically sprint except at the finish. The average is 1300 watts during all out sprint. Football players typically burn as much in a shorter time. Trust me. I have a masters and I am working on a doctorate and this kind of research was the majority of the work.

198 watts * 5 hours * 3.6= 3564 kilocalories. Throw that Apple Watch away.

He is a work horse for Colorado. He will be a great player in the NFL. Not sure about the rest...
