It's a tough call that you should let your body decide based on the workload of lifting and football training. If.yoi have the capacity for it, by all means go for it. On the other hand you certainly don't want to overtrain and not get enough rest and recovery as this will hinder all aspects of your training.

you want to train more volume in the offseason.. DURING season no you don't want to pound your body too much. NFL athletes don't hit during the season for a reason and their weight training and cardio is very precise and minimal. they do their training BEFORE the season!
