Working out hard, eating right will only take you so far. To get that separation between you and that next guy trying to make the team, you can rest assure guys are going to do whatever it takes to make it. Why? Because there is huge amounts of money involved.
Right now, I can tell you for 100% that one guy I know here at ECU that used roids. Guy came into ECU and just blew up. We all talked in the gym, and he even bounced for a short spell in the downtown bars (as did I). Guy was really cool, and looked more like a OLB than a punter. Ironically, I think he was scared of the contact.
Once he got into the NFL, he told a mutual friend of our that HGH use was pretty high in the league. Now, I'll take Matty Dodge's word on this since the guy was a user himself.
