While many NFL players are using this time to unwind after the long 2019 regular season, Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is already using this time to gear up for the 2020 campaign.
Ekeler, who has been active on his personal Twitter account as of late, has been frequently posting some of his workouts.
Some of the exercises have consisted of standard exercises like barbell squats.
Then you get more into muscle-ups using a standard bar, which is not an easy exercise by any means.
What can’t Ekeler do? These ring pull-ups with the legs straight up are a killer.
On the field, you’d see Ekeler burn defenders with speed, wiggle and elusiveness, but hardly would you ever see him hurdle them. The 5-foot-10 and 201 pound back recently showed that he could so if need be with this insane jump lunge.
Ekeler was phenomenal for the Chargers this past season, racking up 557 yards rushing, 993 yards receiving, and 11 touchdowns. He is set to be a restricted free agent, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if they put at least a second-round tender to secure him.
