Sean McVay isn’t just a great coach. He’s also a really good athlete. People tend to forget that it was just 13 years ago that McVay was playing college football at Miami (Ohio), lining up at wide receiver for three seasons there.
Like not many other coaches in the NFL, McVay goes through drills and sprints with his players during practice and stays in shape all year round. He put his strength to the test recently with real estate agent Josh Altman from “Million Dollar Listing,” attempting a push-up challenge of doing 100 in four minutes.
The competition was filmed and shared on Altman’s YouTube account, which shows a different side of McVay than Rams fans are typically used to seeing.
Altman attempted it first, but he came up short. Then McVay went and made the feat look easy.
After completing the challenge, McVay had a message for anyone who thinks it’s easy to do.
“This is a humbling deal. Josh is an athlete. This isn’t for everybody. I’ve seen plenty of our elite athletes. You think 100 push-ups, four minutes, it’s offensive. It’s humbled many greats,” McVay said.
As made clear in the video, McVay is jacked. He looks like he could line up at strong safety right now and blend in with other NFL players.
It’s also easy to see why players love playing for McVay and rave about his leadership. If he’s staying in such great shape, players probably feel motivated to do the same. It’s not bad when your coach is cracking jokes on YouTube, either.
