While the coronavirus pandemic has had a big effect on the world at large, there are some players in the NFL that are taking a bigger hit than others, especially when it comes to offseason workouts, which were set to begin for some teams on Monday.
Due to their new coaching staff, members of the Redskins were slotted to get a jumpstart on the season this week, but due to social-distancing mandates, there will be none of that, and players are being forced to work out and stay in shape on their own time. With no access to a gym or the field, many are getting creative.
For Redskins’ newest free safety Sean Davis, free weights often aren’t in his routine anymore as he takes it old school to stay fit.
“The other day, they had the yellow tape across the field in the park, so it’s kind of hard to find access,” Davis said, via The Athletic. “When it’s cold out, we like working out indoors, which we can’t. So kind of have to take it back old school a little bit to the jail body workouts, push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups.”
Davis went on to say that when the weather starts to warm up a bit, he will be able to get back outside and start running again, which he hates to do in the cold. One thing is for sure though…
“Whenever we’re allowed to be back, I’ll be ready,” Davis said. “I always make sure I’m ready when it’s time to be ready. I’m not really worried about it; it’s just an obstacle, but nothing’s easy and I’m built for it.”
