I'm going to be chuckling about these quotes for a while, since it just brings to mind mental images like a fully equipped football player charging full speed into a desk and either bouncing off in abject failure, or reducing it splinters.

I think there have been video games involving football cyborgs, I vaguely recall something of the sort for the old NES (or maybe that was baseball, I just remember buying sportsball dudes new body parts to wreck opponents with.) Sort of hoping Cyberpunk 2077 includes enhanced sports in some way (even as background) just because that would lead to utter insanity.

Meanwhile this swings the imagery from cyborgs to hulking, vaguely orc-like cannibals who feast on their defeated opponents.

It's been a while since I thought about the game in-depth (back in high school sort of long, so north of 2 decades) but what's quoted is about 90% utter nonsense, with the remaining 10% being terms that might apply to the player but horribly out of context (i.e. "swim and rip moves" are legit techniques a defensive player might use to bypass some offensive player trying to block them.)
