Since early March, the whole world has taken pause due to the coronavirus pandemic. The New YOrk Giants, like all NFL teams, have had to make the best of the current situation as they continue with their virtual offseason.
Although the pandemic has slowed many of the teams’ offseason workout programs, some players, like Saquon Barkley, have been making the most of the current situation.
Another player who has been making the most out of a bad situation has been Will Hernandez. Hernandez is going into his third season and is slowly becoming one of the oldest players on the offensive line.
Hernandez posted a video of himself working out in a Danny Dimes t-shirt a few weeks back, and followed that up by wishing his quarterback a “Happy Birthday” in an Instagram post earlier this week:
In recent weeks, Hernandez has been posting his workout routines via his Instagram page. In some ways, Hernandez has gotten creative during these times, but it is clear the pandemic has now slowed him down.
Many will remember Hernandez playing with a fierce attitude when the Giants played the division rival Dallas Cowboys at home last season. In a game that the Giants showed little effort as a team, Hernandez played hard beginning to end and fought the whole Cowboys team by himself.
This offseason, Hernandez is clearly carrying that fighting attitude into his workouts.
Although certain players are continuing to workout hard during the shutdown, it will still be nice to see the team get back in the facility.
As Hernandez enters his third year in the league, it’s encouraging to see him dedicating himself to his craft during the current times while the team facility is not open. It’s also nice to see him show love for the quarterback he’s going to protect for the better part of his career.
The way the starting offensive line will look on when the Giants open their regular season is very much up in the air, but surely Hernandez and the teammates need to be better than they have been in previous years.
