Training camp this year was incredible. I heard a lot about how much difference there is between the collegiate and professional levels, and now I was able to see it for myself. Things started out pretty normal for me, at the hotel for check in. It was nothing too fancy, but I did enjoy the complimentary room service and made sure I took advantage of it throughout the down time I had in my room.
Meeting people who I used to play against was pretty fun. Everyone was great and you could tell the competitive fire was raging.
Once practices started things got interesting! Our coach is an innovator I will tell you that. It’s been unique no longer being the focal point of the offense, but with time, I hope that will change. The weight room/gym had some intense battles too! Most of the guys were amazed I could run as long/fast with my physique. There are a lot of monsters on this team, I can’t wait for games to get underway and to continue to prove myself.
There is one area that I am already the undisputed clubhouse leader though. That would be in the eating department. Our offensive lineman are some big boys but I put them to shame. The local buffet is probably closed until they get new shipments of food in after all that we ate there over the course of camp!
