Team activities for many NFL teams are on hold during the COVID-19 virus outbreak. Players are taking different measures in order to hone their craft during this time away from team facilities.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer highlights that Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is engaging in a self-quarantine with New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, Washington quarterback Kyle Allen. The group is working with quarterback coach Jordan Palmer and former USC quarterback Matt Lopes.
“The quarterbacks wake up every day and, because all the parks and fields around them are shut down, go throw on the beach by Darnold’s house. After that, they’ll go back to the house, eat lunch, play cards, watch TV, play some more cards and eventually watch movies at night. The biggest problems, really, are losing the chance to work with the rehab guy they’d been using, and fighting boredom.”
The group was planning on working out as per usual as part of their offseason training regimen with Palmer. However, the explosion of the COVID-19 virus along with several calls from municipalities to led to this developing sitcom.
The Allens have been in southern California together for weeks, according to Breer.
It’s not a bad spot for young quarterbacks to continue to develop in the offseason. With self-quarantine, their focus on football will aid in bolstering their skills while squashing boredom.
