I'm not your bud friend, and the majority of NFL players did not lift heavily before they were 15. Even if they did lift at the age of 15, most NFL players are genetically big guys and while their growth may have been stunted they are still big. You still see small (height wise) NFL players that are jacked, most likely guys who started lifting at a young age and did exactly that, fucked up their growth plate and remained at a shorter height 5"8 - 5"10. I'll give you a quick breakdown on what you could do to gain weight in muscle mass, this is along with weight training:
You should eat whole foods. Proteins are important such as meat, whey, eggs and milk. Carbs such as brown rice, whole grain pasta and oats. Vegetables are good for you, especially spinach. Fruits and fats such as fish oil, real butter, nuts and olive oil (extra virgin if you wanna go the healthier way). Eat breakfast, very important when working out. Eat after a workout, you need carbs and proteins to help in the recovery and thus growth of your muscles. If you are seriously trying to gain weigh, eat at a steady rate, like every 3-4 hours to give your muscles a steady influx of proteins. Other tips I would give you is avoid white bread, rice and pasta because those carbs and proteins are not the ones you want when trying to build musle. Also drink whole milk, organic if you can. Try to eat organic whenever you can.
