Salter is not in great shape. Period. Evidently, all of the other QBs outlifted him this offseason.
You may not be the best source for salter news based on past performance
But he is an expert on 'out of shape'.
I wouldn’t measure a QBs fitness with anything resembling how much he lifted. Who cares?
Agree except in outlier cases like Jalen Hurts where that power and durability is his main differentiating asset.
I guess I would say that a QB developing lower body strength is important. But just like pitchers, a QB doesn't need to be a weight room monster and it might actually be a problem if he is (flexibility is actually more important).
And as a veteran, he became obsessively fit but probably couldn't bench more than a CU basketball player.
Do we only have two humans with gold jerseys?
There were four that I have seen so far. In addition to 3 & 10, there's 16 and 22.
Slater, Lewis, Staub, Ponder and Colton Allen make up the current QB room. I'm going to assume Staub transfers after Spring, but then again, I thought he would transfer in December. Maybe he's cool with just being on the team and going to school at CU.
Oh just Denzel talking to the CU football team

He got in great shape, but it wasn’t strength.
His fitness guru regularly gets destroyed by actual fitness guys
And Lama said he wasn’t lifting!Slater?
160 lbs?
Unless you are a kicker you don't play, and play at a championship level, into your 40s in the NFL if you aren't in great shape and all the time.
Elway spent a lot of time in the weight room and he could lift with a lot of the guys on the team but he said his main focus was on having the core strength that allowed him to keep getting up after getting hit. Even a guy like Joe Montana who was never going to end up shirtless on the cover of a fitness magazine worked hard on being strong, even though he was never muscular.
Prime and much of the rest of the staff have enough experience at the top level of football to know what it takes to survive and thrive in the most physical game in the world.
They will have their guys ready. If they aren't they won't be here.
But he made the effort.
