Just finished Year 18 of NFL off-season training. Let’s just say it has been one heckuva crazy 4-months. But somehow over this time, we found a way to get it done. Zoom training, in my home garage gym, at @fitnessquest10, and finally the field the last couple weeks. #WIT So grateful for many things… – All these men out on the field grinding to get better. For every NFL star, there are dozens who are hungry and working like mad to “make it.” – For the past 18-years I’ve had the opportunity to train and be on the field with @drewbrees. Perhaps this was his last off-season training as he goes into his 20th season. But then again, we’ve always treated it like it might be the last. I certainly had heightened gratitude the last few weeks though. — @chase_daniel (Lions) going into year 12. This is our 10th together. This man is one special dude! We have always had kids of all ages out on the field to watch, learn, and even participate with us. HS, college, “young” pro athletes, and “veteran” players who respect the game. Guys like @perezluisqb are inspiring the next generation of dreamers. Been even more special this summer to include my boy @lukedurkin10 in the action. He’s gone from snapping the past 10-years to finally being able to occasionally get a few reps. Special times & memories! There is a not a better time of my life than when I’m “in-season.” Now it’s reporting time this week so the pros can go do their work. Time for me to faceplant a bit…and then get the HS kids ready to go, albeit a little later than normal. Going to be one heckuva interesting NFL season. And I CAN NOT WAIT. Is anyone else with me? #HardWorkPaysOff #NFL #DrewBrees #FQ10Fam #FitnesQuest10 #ToddDurkin #IMPACT #TheirOffSeasonIsMyINSeason #HadToHuntForThisPic #AttitudeOfGratitude
