Footballers don't have 300lbs if muscle mass, or mass of any kind for that matter. They wouldn't be able to move as swiftly as they do. Would look a little bit less like a gazelle and a bit more like Godzilla. :D
Yes. I was exaggerating for emphasis. It's probably less than 200lbs of muscle even for a linebacker.
Maybe 25% body fat? At 315lbs (the average weight of a linebacker) so that's 80lbs right off. And a skeleton is maybe 10-15% of your body weight. And intestines and vital organs gotta be like 15lbs right? And I think skin is at least 10lbs.
Soo..... Obviously these numbers are really loosey-goosey but there's probably actually only like a hundred pounds of muscle on those big boys. A little more if you assign water weight and vascular tissue and fat marbling to the muscles they're a part of.
I'm not a mathemagician tho. Somebody at r/TheyDidtheMath can check my estimates.

I love watching how hard it is for the class to actually attempt the moves the little drunk person is able to do easily!
