NFL Running Back Tweets That He Can Take a Wolf 1-on-1
OutdoorHub Reporters 03.13.17
As competitors, professional athletes believe they are superior to any opponent they face. Having that kind of competitive mindset is key to not only performing at the highest level, but succeeding at it.
NFL players train 365 days a year to be the best football players they can be. It’s a physically demanding sport, and in today’s game, it requires you to train like you’re either going to battle, or part of the cast for the next 300 movie.
Wild animals, however, were born for battle. In the animal kingdom, it’s not about paychecks and flashy cars, and only the tough survive on a much more literal scale.
With all that being said, Arian Foster, now retired NFL running back for the Miami Dolphins, said he thinks he could take a wolf one on one in some sort of no holds barred wrestling match.
Here’s what Foster had to say about the hypothetical bout:
i honestly think i can get a wolf 1 on 1 tho.

show me how the wolf in time of conflict analyzes exactly what part of the body is the weakest, determines how its the weakest, then attacks

Since Foster is so confident, let’s take a look at the tale of the tape between these two opponents:
According to NFL.com, Arian measures in standing 6’1” and weighing 227 pounds. He played eight seasons in the NFL and suffered from ACL injures his last two seasons.
Wolves on the other hand, typically weigh up to around 120 pounds, can run at speeds close to 40 mph, have a bite pressure of 1,400 psi, and not to mention, are used to taking down prey that is more than twice its size.
Sorry Adrian, but we think you’re simply outmatched here.
