But then, 13-game seasons were so college ago. These rookie offensive linemen are in the NFL now, where 12 games played - four exhibition, eight regular season - means they still have eight games to go.

Any day now, their bodies are going to start wondering when does it all end.
Davis has given up six quarterback sacks and committed six false starts, tying him for second-most in the NFL in both categories. No one will say who allowed the sack that left Alex Smith with a separated left shoulder at Carolina, but it came through Davis' side.
If anything, playing right away has accelerated the maturation process for both players - even if the rest of the offense paid the price for the initial learning curve.
Such mistakes were to be expected when coach Mike Singletary decided to throw two rookies into an offensive line that was so bad last year, the team felt the need to draft two linemen in the first round.

"Every rookie goes through that process."
"I can't try to compare this to my college career," Davis said. "Just got to keep going."
"Just got to keep grinding and keep working," Mike Iupati Jersey said.
Welcome to the rookie wall, big boys, where bruised and beaten bodies are forced to play far beyond the confines of Pop Warner, high school and college scheduling demands.
For 488 snaps, they have squatted their 300-pound-plus bodies at the line of scrimmage. On 488 snaps,NFL Jerseys, their bodies have smashed into an equally big defensive lineman.
"I think you're so busy, you're so involved, you don't have time to notice you're really tired," said left tackle Joe Staley. "But there is a sense in your body that this season's long. We're only halfway done with our season and they'd be ready to be done with it by now.
"I'm not near where I want to be," he said. "I've got to keep getting better."
Davis, the No. 11 overall draft pick from Rutgers, has started all eight regular-season games at right tackle. Mike Iupati Jersey, the No. 17 overall pick from Idaho, has done the same at left guard.
Mike Iupati Jersey's miscues are less visible because he's tucked between a tackle and center, but when someone beat Staley inside, it was usually because Mike Iupati Jersey didn't slide over in protection.
Mike Iupati Jersey's personal odometer says he should be preparing for the Humanitarian Bowl. Anthony Davis' body clock says it's time to gear up for the St. Petersburg Bowl.
