Seattle Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls is taking his offseason workouts to new extremes.

In a post shared on Instagram this weekend, Rawls took some time off from the gym to engage in a new workout: alligator wrestling.

According to his photos, the Seahawk made a visit to Gatorland, a theme park and wildlife preserve in Orlando, Florida. It looks like Rawls also got to practice his intimidating stare down on the live gators, too.

Rawls, 23, is entering his third NFL season with the Seahawks and has played a huge role for the team since stepping in for an injured Marshawn Lynch. In two seasons, he’s rushed for 1179 total yards and seven touchdowns.

However, his injuries in back-to-back seasons have proved to be problematic and the Seahawks have struggled to find consistency in the backfield.

With the recent addition of veteran Eddie Lacy, Rawls will likely need all the training he can get to compete for the Seahawks starting spot. Both Lacy and second-year back C.J. Prosise are also expected to contend for touches this offseason.

If Rawls wants to stay healthy, wrestling alligators isn’t exactly the best prep for the upcoming season. But it sure does keep 12s on their toes while they wait.
