Citation for this tidbit? And not just rationale for why it makes sense to you.

I don’t have a citation but pat mahomes on the chiefs has said that he has to keep the “dad bod” padding because it protects him when he is sacked.

Wouldn’t more muscle mass provide better protection than fat?

I’m sure you know better than the world champion Super Bowl quarterback.

And you know this how??? They’re not married - committed, yes; maybe even unofficially engaged, but married, doubt that very much.

Why do you keep responding to and engaging with trolls? Just ignore.

Those are pads of some sort, not extra pounds. You can see how slim he is when he performed on stage recently at one of Taylor Swift’s shows:

It’s because they lose about 15 to 20 lbs in training camp and then 5-10 more during the season.

When you are hitting and getting hit you want to weight more but to be fast not too much more it’s a balance.

You need fat to protect from injury, if you body fat is low you have more injuries.

Supposedly a nod to early days of Taylor Swift romance. This guy is known to switch up his look from time to time.

I think he just doesn’t care anymore. He’s “secured the bag” with Taylor so no need to make an effort in his appearance and actions.

This is Travis with his last girlfriend:

So what is your point? You’d rather see him standing there stone-faced and unhappy but dressed in a suit rather than with a happy grin with his arms wrapped around Taylor and dressed casually?

Da, to be fair these are two different situations. He and his ex were at an event. There are plenty of pics of them looking relaxed as well

And there are pictures of him at a charity event with Taylor from this past spring where he is dressed in a suit.

DP. Fat>muscle for protection? You are offering a lot of factoids about training camp, staff expectations, and general body mechanics without naming sources. References?

You're responding to multiple different people. Lots of this is commonly known received wisdom if you've ever played football or known football players. I'm not even saying that it's true, I'm saying it's what basically everyone who ever plays football is told. I'm sure you could google it if you care so much.

Then I'm responding to multiple people in one post. BTW, I appreciate the links though they don't support the idea that fat is better than muscle or that staff wants players to show up overweight. The first article explains that a current player might be able to perform very well with a "dad bod" but faces possible health implications down the road. The second profiles an offensive lineman and describes how "bigger is better", fat or muscle, on the line not every player on the field.

It makes sense that in a professional contact sport a bigger player would get pushd around less than a smaller one, but excusing fat as equivalent to muscle mass, or saying it's preferable, isn't true.

You need fat around ligaments, muscles to cushion and have “give” to prevent muscle tears/pulls, ligament tears and pulls.

My son was/is an athlete and keeping his fat up was a struggle.

He did not ask his orthopedic for a reference or proof that his body fat was too low and causing injury.

I spent every preseason helping him gain weight to go into the preseason 30lbs over his goal weight.

Nobody is saying being fat is better than being muscular to prevent injury. What is being said is body fat below a certain % depending on your position can lead to more injuries… lean athletes who make quick cuts need fat around their muscles and ligaments to
Prevent injury so body fat < 15% is not healthy for them. Nobody is saying to have body fat at 50%.

Trainers have body fat % goals by position.

The mastery some people have at derailing a thread is something to behold. We're now debating injuries and fat/muscle ratio, with links demanded for proof, in a thread about a singer and an athlete dating? Go start another thread about the concept if it interests you so much, PP. Good lord, give it a rest.

The Globe article is behind a paywall but from your post I'm taking it on good faith. Thank you.

None of the things you underline remotely claim that "fat is better than being muscular to prevent injury." You have some weird agenda here. And the earlier links you dismiss all operate from the premise that football players are told to have dad bod/gain weight... that's *why* they are examining alternatives/the downsides.

The discussion began with Travis Kelce's appearance at training camp. Relevant, though boring to you.
