Football Gets Rare Work Outside

04/17/2009 - Football

Two sessions of one-on-one routes between the WRs/DBs and some non-contact inside run followed the initial position drills.

There weren't any huge revelations from today's practice, as it was primarily non-contact. Practiced ended with a brief seven-on-seven session between the first team offense and defense.
