Mmm...maybe. Still doesn't account for the grind of the travel. And the low minute guys all do extra work after games and practices so it may not be as big of a difference as you might initially think.
He's also older, so theoretically his body might not be as quick to adjust to all those things. My body certainly stopped adjusting to change as quickly as I approached 30.
But now I've reached the precipice of out and out conjecture, so I'm going to stop.
