Michael Rood has been spending extra time in the Palm Beach weight room, doing everything he can to up his strength. He's committed to helping make the Solar Bears the best they can be, and he knows he will need to become more than just a receiving threat - he will need to become a strong blocker as well.
Rood has always been a decent blocker, but he knows the DSFL defenses will be on another level. He explained:
"Playing in the Prospect Bowl made me realize how big the gap is between guys like Rock Hardshaft and the guys I was playing against back at Minnesota. Rock is so much bigger, faster, and stronger - and I know he's one of the best LBs in the DSFL but I have to be ready to take on other guys just like him if I want to be successful. God, I am so lucky he's on my team... [laughs]."
Rood turned back to the squat rack, and politely asked the reporters if he could return to his workout.
"I have a lot of work to do - thanks for the time and go Solar Bears!"
