We saw the effects of the 2024 season on our guys, where several of them needed time to recover during the 2025 spring camp and summer workouts.

During the season, they don't get to spend every day in rehabilitative therapy, treatments, etc., since they have to go to class as well.

Thankfully, by the fall camp, they were good to go, but asking them to play yet another game isn't reasonable, since they're not done growing and developing.

The fact that we had them ready to go is a testament to Coach Loren Landow's S&C program.

It's a different story when you're a 28 year old pro in the NFL, where your only focus is football, and you have all week to devote to recovering.
