Once they are in the pros they don't get that 24/7/365 oversight by the trainers, dieticians and strength coaches that they had in college. They now have money, by and large they eat what they want, and train however they want during the offseason.
NFL players are in better shape and eat better than when they were in college. In college they are just part time athletes. In the NFL it becomes a full time job. That is why you hear about so many prospects not returning to school just so they can train full time for the combine.
However there are a lot of guys who do "track training" leading up to the combine. This is designed just for speed and not allof the other aspects of playing in the NFL. So guys will drop weight for the combine just to increase their forty time and then put the bulk back on to actually play the games.
