Loving Life
It is always fun to get back to playing ball again. I've been through two OTAs, and they have been great. The days have been split up to where we lift early in the morning, have iinstallation and review meetings and then go out to the practice field and perform. The biggest difference between OTAs and camp is that we are not in full pads.
The veterans got back earlier this week a day before OTAs started, and it has been fun interacting with them and getting to know them better as co-workers and as people outside of football. I got a limited amount of of team reps during the practices behind the vets, but I feel lucky to be with a group of guys who genuinely want to help out the rookies with plays and learning the offense. I think this is because of the mentality of the program, which is to win the Super Bowl. It carries on as a cycle between the fans, the coaching staff and the players where everyone is willing to do anything it takes to help this team get better prepared to win a Super Bowl.
I really feel lucky to be part of such a great program as the Green Bay Packers. There is so much tradition and hard work put into every aspect of this program that I'm excited everytime I step onto the field.
Per my team motto when I was playing football at Wilde Lake High School: "I love it. I love it. Can't get enough of it."
