HGH use is rampant in NFL - reuben.ahmed - 12-31-2015
I don't trust the Bleacher Report, but it makes sense. The percentages are wild, saying 10-40% are on HGH.
I can make a guess who uses it/has used it on our team.

Would you take a supplement to change your family tree with generational wealth?
RE: HGH use is rampant in NFL - 6andcounting - 01-01-2016
Only 10 to 40%?

Even if it's "only" 10%, on a typical 53 man roster, that's 5 guys.
5 guys X 32 team league = 160 players.

Copy that. I thought you were saying it wasn't very significant if it was only 10-40%.

Well, try being smarter next time.

It depends on how legal it is and how dangerous it could be.

True dat. I could certainly change my family tree and generational wealth by supplementing my days with crack and/or heroin, but I don't think I will.

I was picturing a billionaire with a revolver saying "There is one bullet in here...I'll give your family $1 million for each time you pull the trigger" or something to that effect.

HGH is totally different from anabolic steroids. HGH has almost none of the negative side effects that steroids do

Im willing to bet almost 50-60% have taken it at some point maybe not at the NFL level but HS or College.

I'd guess higher than that. Even guys who don't use it on a regular basis take it to recover from injuries.
