It’s been said before that Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott is not human.

Jokes aside, it appears that Elliott is using cryotherapy to trick his body into thinking it’s freezing. The chamber reaches minus-300 degrees and is basically an ice bath on steroids.
LeBron James uses cryogenics to help his body recover from overexertion, too. Professional sports teams are using them more and since Ohio State is basically a wealthier professional sports franchise, naturally it has one.
Elliott is pulling out all the stops to ready his body for Monday night’s opener at Virginia Tech…and tweeting creepy photos while doing so.
