Pro athletes do whatever it takes to enhance their skills and physical fitness during their off-seasons with the most intense training regimens imaginable. We have profiled this in the past with NFL and NBA players doing unorthodox ways to sustain their elite level of play.

People on Twitter reacted with praise, and fear, once they saw the photo of the Carolina Panthers superstar looking like one of The Avengers in a pool, with some chic headgear to match.
