(S7) - Weekend PT 1 - Training Regimen

[SwagSloth]

Even before the injuries sustained last season, Eric Kennedy has had a heavy cardio regiment aimed at keeping his weight down and his mobility up. After being up to over 240 lbs. in S3, he shredded a lot of that weight to improve his personal health and step away from the power back style into a receiving role. It also doesn’t help that he had to completely overhaul his diet and, as a New Orleans native, he’s used to eating good, so the cardio is a good way to counteract any damage done when he slips off his diet.

Recently, the concussions that led to Kennedy leaving the RB role have taken time away from high-contact training on the field, though he was able to keep doing treadmill cardio. Now cleared, he’s also spending a lot of extra time on the field practicing the more advanced routes that he’ll be expected to learn as wide receiver. The result has cost him some strength as he’s put so much more focus in mobility, but the goal was to keep him lined up with cornerbacks / safeties and out of range of the more powerful linebackers that could put him in a bad spot again. Thus, the mantra for this offseason’s training has been all about speed.
