The offseason between college and the pros can be a weird one. A change of scenery, new faces, the new opportunities presented to a young up and coming player. Putting in work every single day but also having the youthfulness to celebrate this situation at night. Urlacher has been a real scrappy gym rat. First one in the facility, and the last one out. A real bring your lunch pail to work kind of guy. Heavy weight sessions in the morning, followed by sprints in the afternoon, and football specific drills on days in between. It's been a long, grueling summer, but you don't just get to this level by luck. This offseason wasn't all just work, however. When your 20, you have to make the most of it. Urlacher has been making waves in San Antonio as a fixture in its nightlife. Despite being underage, people tend to turn their heads the other way when you want something, and Urlacher has made the most of it. While this habit won't be able to last long, as a youngster in his last offseason before this opportunity, there is nothing wrong with stopping to enjoy his surroundings. It won't be long before more than just San Antonio knows who Ben Urlacher is, but for now, he is just trying to enjoy his slice of the world.
