Pretty much every American is familiar with the surging fast food chain Chipotle by now, but very few of us are as familiar with it as Atlanta Falcons fullback Keith Smith. On a recent "Endless Hustle Podcast," Smith said he eats Chipotle four to five times per day!

Even the fullback himself noted that most fans probably won't believe his recent statement, but added, "most people who know me know that it's legit... like this is not a joke."

It's hard to imagine someone would even make up something so outlandish, being that the average American probably eats Chipotle once or twice every couple of weeks (and that's being generous). With a calorie count like that, there's no question Smith must workout just as hard as he pounds his favorite food.

Apparently, the extra lbs have helped the journeyman fullback's game, as he is having one of his best seasons statistically.

With Smith eating Chipotle four to five times per day, he'll have to keep earning contracts if he wants to afford all that food. With the way things have been playing out though, it's quite possible Todd Gurley has been footing the bills.
