Hi Dr. Prendergast. This is a very interesting study, indeed. My thoughts behind the reasoning of why NFL players may have high cardio metabolic issues, may stem from that over 70% of the NFL is made up of African-Americans, which tend to have higher incidents of Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, etc..Also, based on their workout regiments, they are burning many more calories than the average athlete, hence they may be putting specific foods or food groups into their body which could be a factor in elevated levels.
