(S5) - PT 2 - Holiday Cheer

[Egan Winter]

Egan Winter, 207 words:

I spent the holidays celebrating my new success with my family, but I also wanted to work on my game too. One of the most exciting things about my role with the Portland Pythons is the chance I have to make an impact on special teams as a punt returner. I've already got one TD in the pre-season, and now I am hungry for more. My bread is buttered by my work in the secondary in pass protection. I know that. Of course. But if I can come out there every week and make that extra impact running back punts and maybe even putting points on the board? Hell yeah. I'll take that.

So I've been doing lots of cardio, running sprints, making cuts, all that. And I'm in the film room, obviously, studying coverages and studying the wide receivers I know I will be facing once the season get rolling. I'm also working with the coaching staff to improve my tackling. I know that I need to make sure that when I get someone wrapped up, they don't ever get away from me. That's what separates good from great in this league. So I'm turning my arms into a set of vice grips, mark my words.
