Kind of weird how coaching philosophies differ. Our football coach highly frowned on us playing other sports. He wanted us in the weight room and doing position specific agility and form work in the off season.I can honestly say that the football only players were stronger and better than the multi sport players.

And I would think more prone to injury.

I don't know. I had my share of injuries, but don't think that they were in any way related to my not playing other sports. I had a back injury my junior year, hyperextended elbow and partially torn ACL senior year. Partially torn Labrum and partially torn rotator cuff in GA FL high school all star game is when I finally decided enough is enough and college ball would destroy my body. I could just be naive, but I think the injuries would have been worse if I had not been so strong.
