Kelvin Benjamin Overweight?

How can you be overweight at 4% body fat? Honestly he is probably under weight for his size and might have a hard time keeping pounds off after a full NFL offseason training program.

He might be 14% BF. 4% BF is way too low and unhealthy.

Bodyfat percentages are often horribly misunderstood by most people.  It is impossible to be overweight at 4%, and it's also next to impossible to maintain 4%, as that's usually near death conditions.  At 4%, your body would be constantly eating away at your muscle mass for fuel, which is obviously not what you want to happen if you're in the NFL.

 

Most NFL skill position players are going to be in the 8-12% range.  12% is generally where you can see a 6 pack,and 8% is really ripped.  Hard to tell where KB is, but he's not overweight that's for sure.

Hell, back in the day I used to have 2% body fat in my life sports class. I was healthy as a mofo. It manifested itself in all our courses/events.  I came in number 1 in everything except for walking.   Those were the days.  Still healthy now, but the body fat went up a little.
