2. Tom Brady wasn’t there.
Weird, right?
3. The players are just happy to play football
The pandemic has created so much uncertainty and change. Perhaps the return of football — even with the acknowledgement that it could go away again — can provide a level of comfort. Certainly, guard Shaq Mason seemed thrilled to get to work — even during a pandemic.
“It was great,” Mason said Wednesday in a video conference call. “Naturally, nobody’s played football since we last were all together. I think more than anything, it was just great energy. Everybody’s just excited to get back out on the football field to grind. When we haven’t been able to go out there as a unit and do things as a whole, but today, it was good to get all of the guys out there. It was all smiles, high energy. We were all glad to get back.”
