Come-on. Offensive linemen can add 20 pounds of muscle easily in one off season.

lol easily ? in an offseason they have roughly 7 months ? Even at a very aggressive and mostly unlikely average of 2lbs per month that is well below 20. 10-12 is feasible, 20 is not.

Don't want to come off like an asshole, but you're nuts if you think that 20lbs is not feasible in 7 months.
I'm a former D1 athlete (wrestling and a walk-on), former certified personal trainer and currently coach competitive youth sports and that kind of weight, given the timeframe you mentioned (7 months) is a cakewalk.
These are pro athletes with the best facilities, weight room and nutrition that money can buy. If an NFL player can't put on 20 lbs of good weight in 7 months, then there is something else going on.

Actually, they can with the right nutrition and weightlifting program. It's all a matter of dedication and sheer will.

EXACTLY....between lifting weights & diet (5 small meals/day high protein diet chicken, turkey etc.). Also there are weight gain supplements for muscle. I once put on more than 20lbs muscle in about 3mos ( back in the day). I was getting to big, my clothes were getting tight. I had to cut back. But you're right "Offensive linemen can add 20 pounds can easily"

I just disagree. These are huge men and we are not talking about body builders trying to sculpt muscles. 20 pounds of weight gain for offensive tackles has more to do with eating than anything else. And this doesn't even include the legal supplements that these guy's take.

Come-on man. What are you basing your opinion on? These are 300 pound men. 20 pounds is nothing.

Your response tells me you don't know anything about diet/nutrition and working out. 20lbs in muscle in 7 months and you think you need PEDS? Get real.

LOL I am a competitive weightlifter. btw personal trainers are largely a joke. If it's so common name one pro football player who has put on 20 lbs of muscle in 7 months. Hell, one year.

OK I’m not a weightlifter and have no clue what I’m talking about…. But 20 pounds of muscle for an NFL lineman doesn’t seem crazy to me. I know Lamar Jackson who was only a 200 pound guy added 12-20 this offseason. (Depending on the article)
I’m not trying to shit on you either here… I’m just honestly surprised is all.

Fortunately, 10-12 goes a long way along with and extra 8-10lbs of mass which that frame can hold. A guy that's already in great shape like that will be lucky to do it but that big frame may help. A strong 20 pounds of weight gain is a lot to ask for but it would be nice to see him at 330lbs next year. Lots more functional strength for the position.

What he's saying is that the extra weight is not all muscle. He likely added 7-10 of pure muscle with the 12-15 lbs weight increase. It's actually a great accomplishment.

Regardless of the actual amount of muscle added I do know guys can improve dramatically especially those first couple off-seasons. I remember James Daniels recently coming to camp looking like a different guy almost. But how much is actually possible I’ll leave that to the guys here that aren’t rocking the dad bod.

I would agree, many PT's are largely a joke, but you could say that for a lot of professions. Every profession has its great's and it's not so greats.
First, I never said it was common, I said it's not that hard if it needs to be done; there is a difference.
The fact that you say you are a competitive weightlifter, and you don't think you can put on 20lbs of muscle in 7 months without PEDS....maybe you should read what you just sent me but replace Personal Trainer with Competitive Weightlifter.
