Green Bay – The projectile left John Williams left the nostril at a high speed, brought together one of the microphones in local television stations and disappeared. But everyone had seen it, including the Recruit offensive player from Green Bay Packers himself.
A attached smile quickly hit the face of the choice of the seventh round. He was also making such a big impression so large.
The former left tackle of Cincinnati had sailed a series of questions about his major in college – aerospace engineering, literally making him a rocket scientist – without a puff of condescension that I am as you are. He had already released a fun quality and of all the men before his unfortunate episode of Booger.
“Oh, Jeez!” He dropped, immediately and independently deprecating the clumsiness of the moment before resuming his answer on what he will do with his degree of Hifalutin after the end of his days of play.
Nearby, the choice of sixth round Warren Brinson was in complete hearing mode. The former defensive platform of Georgia had made no bone on his goal after football – to be an ESPN football analyst – and taking the opportunity to publish the podcast he had started during his career with the Bulldogs.
“Dude, it’s so difficult to be in front of these cameras,” said Brinson. “When I see the cameras, I freeze.”
Barely.
From Showing Off the Chocolate Bar He’d Received from the Packers Fans in Germany whod Announced His Pick (“He Said It’s the Best Chocolate in Germany, But I Can’t Read It So I’m Going To Google Translate”) to Walking Back His Humblebrag that he did a journalism degree. To start his podcast (“No Knock on You Guys”) to describing his stop at the Delta Sky Club in Detroit During His Connection on His Atlanta-To-Green Bay Trip (“They’ve Got a good bathroom in there!”), Brinson made no effort to hide his effusive personality.
And head coach Matt Lafleur would not otherwise have it.
“I think we embrace the personality of everyone,” said Lafleur halfway from the two-day minicamp recruit, which ended on Saturday with a short training which included 38 players (eight recourse choice, 10 signatories of a free agent not drafted, 11 test players and nine selected from the alignment. “At the end of the day, I want these guys to be themselves.
“Obviously, you want guys who like the football game, who like to compete. You want guys who are a high character, who are the guys from the team.
Leading to the project, the director general Brian Gutekunst had spoke at length The importance of finding players who really like football At a time when a growing number of players saw it as a means of an end rather than a call.
But there is also room in the high pressure world and high NFL issues to take advantage of the trip even though you work your tail to succeed and carve out a career for yourself.
“Pleasure certainly helps. It is difficult to like the game if you are not having fun playing the game,” said Williams. “But there are certain things [about football] It’s not fun. Some things are difficult, and they are not fun – and these are things that you usually do with your best.
“Obviously, I like to have fun. Everyone likes to have fun when they play football.”
Count Brinson among them. He is already working on “DAWG Pack” t-shirts to commemorate all his Bulldogs colleagues on the list of packers (Quay Walker, Devonte Wyatt, Javon Bullard and his colleague Recruue Nazir Stackhouse), and he has already done waste for the defensive line Barryn Sorrell, a graduate from Texas.
“I say to myself:” I’m 4-0 against you, my boy! “,” Said Brinson, including the regular Bulldogs championship match and the dry championship against the Longhorns.
Of course, when it is time to work, Lafleur expects his players to concentrate instead of being mistaken, and the training session on Saturday inside the Don Hutson Center was only that.
While past recruit passers -by included periods 1 against 1 and 11 against 11, Lafleur changed his approach Focus on fundamental work while players pass rigors from the preparation of the NFL draft to the actually employment of the NFL.
Lafleur was severe if necessary, whether it was a player for having really sank too quickly during a half-tite activity, or correcting the Canadian quarter-Arrière Taylor Elgersma on one of his launch exercises.
“The best time of the year is when our players are in the building. Whether recruits or veterans, it’s always exciting when you work with your players,” said Lafleur. “This is why we got into this thing, it is to train. We all like football game.
“There is a little more goal behind your work when your players are in the building. It seems just more significant. Whether you help them in the field or off the field, it’s just this personal connection that is so key. It’s difficult to make when you are far from each other.”
After obtaining a week of leave, the recruits will return for phase II of the intersane program, joining the veterans returning for these sessions, which will then lead to team activity practices organized at the end of the month.
This is why Brinson does not think of his budding ESPN career and Williams does not care if Lockheed Martin or SpaceX will hire her in their research services if football does not work.
He is all in football – which was the point he was trying to assert when his nasal situation arose.
“The dream scenario (IS), I never have to use my diploma. This is my dream scenario,” he said. “But, I mean, if I have to use it, I will use it. But my dream scenario is that I can simply play football for the rest of my life.”
