Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler showed off his blazing speed in a workout video posted on Twitter.
Former Penn State wide receiver KJ Hamler did not run a 40-yard dash at the NFL combine because he was recovering from a minor injury. Had he run a 40-yard dash, Hamler probably would have posted one of the top times among wide receivers in this year’s class.
During a recent speed workout with trainer Antoine Mason, Hamler showed off his blazing speed:
Hamler was selected by the Broncos in the second round of this year’s draft and he is expected to serve as the team’s No. 3 receiver behind Pro Bowler Courtland Sutton and second-round draft pick Jerry Jeudy.

Broncos quarterback Drew Lock has been training in the Denver area.
Broncos quarterback Drew Lock is back in the Denver area and he recently got together with teammates for some passing sessions with a few wide receivers. As The Athletic‘s Nicki Jhabvala pointed out on Twitter, it appears that Lock is also doing some conditioning training.
Lock is training with Augustine Agyei and Nate Smock, who both work for Landow Performance, which is owned by Broncos head strength and conditioning coach Loren Landow.
Judging from the photo Agyei posted on Instagram, it appears that Lock is practicing social distancing even while training. Lock was also careful to follow social guidelines while throwing with teammates in the Denver area.
After going 4-1 as a starter last season, Lock will try to help the Broncos reach the playoffs in 2020, something the team hasn’t done since 2015.
With gyms closed, Broncos linebacker Alexander Johnson made his way outdoors to stay in shape.
In an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19, many gyms across the United States have closed, at least temporarily. That has left athletes scrambling to find ways to workout, including Broncos running back Melvin Gordon.
“Not every guy has a gym in their house . . . so it’s going to be a lot of pushups and jogging here in a little bit,” Gordon said in an interview with Colin Cowherd last week. “We’re trying to make the best out of what we got but they’re closing everything down, man, it’s crazy.”
Denver inside linebacker Alexander Johnson has made the best of the situation. Johnson is using the great outdoors — and logs — to work out.
Johnson (6-2, 245 pounds) joined the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2018. After serving as a backup and practice squad player as a rookie, Johnson emerged as a starter in 2019 and totaled 93 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one interception, two forced fumbles and three pass breakups.
It looks like Johnson is having no trouble finding ways to exercise.
Rory McIlroy, Billy Horschel and other stars are challenging each other on high-end stationary bikes during the coronavirus pandemic.
With professional golf events around the world being postponed and canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak, the Official World Golf Ranking announced Friday that current rankings will be frozen. Rory McIlroy is locked into the No. 1 position. Now, in a new competition that is playing out on social media and stationary bikes around the world, McIlroy also appears to be the man to beat.
On Monday, March 16, the day after the Players Championship should have concluded, Billy Horschel posted on Instagram that he failed to keep up with McIlroy during a Peloton ride.
Two days later, Horschel posted that he had completed another ride and put out a challenge to McIlroy and Justin Thomas to beat his performance. Out of 14,670 riders who had completed the ride, the 2014 FedEx Cup champion finished 401st. Who says golfers aren’t athletes?
With gyms and health clubs closed in many parts of the United States, many people who want to stay in shape are exercising at home. It turns out that many professional golfers who have home gyms have a Peloton, a high-tech stationary bike that has a large video screen. After connecting the bike to Wifi, riders can stream both live classes from Peloton’s gyms in New York and London. There are about 90 live classes a week, but riders can also opt to do cataloged rides any time they like which are based on criteria like duration (5-75 minutes), type (beginner, climb, intervals, etc.), instructor and music genre. The system lets riders listen to the music and instructor through Bluetooth headphones, plugged-in headphones or through the console’s speakers.

A leaderboard ranks every rider’s performance for motivation and to let people track their improvement. Ordinarily, the live classes in the New York and London studios are filled with riders doing the same workout you do at home, but until the coronavirus threat passes, instructors are doing live classes in empty studios for riders at home.
As you might suspect, the bike is not cheap. The $2,245 sticker price is jarring, but Peloton promotes the fact that the bike can be purchased by paying $58 per month for 39 months and 0 percent interest. However, there is a $39 per month membership fee to access the online classes.
With professional golfers posting more and more content on social media from their homes, we’ve now learned that in addition to McIlroy, Horschel and Thomas, Charley Hoffman is a Peloton devotee. Ian Poulter posted a clip on Instagram from his home gym with two Pelotons visible in the background. Jimmy Walker was also captured riding one in a post created by his wife, Erin, after she completed a ride. LPGA Tour star Morgan Pressel also took the same class after Horschel, McIlroy and Thomas rode.
Still, McIlroy remains the man to beat on the bike. On Friday, Horschel completed a HIIT ride (high-intensity interval training) lead by Alex Toussaint that was recorded on March 5, then challenged McIlroy and others to beat his performance of 752 kilojoules (kj), which is a measure of power output. Horschel averaged 23.9 mph during the 45-minute ride, rode over 17.92 miles and burned 1,071 calories.
On Saturday, McIlroy smoked him.
“Billy, JT, Charley and everyone else who wants to do this Peloton thing while we’re in quarantine or social isolation or whatever you want to call it, I beat you again,” McIlroy said on his Instagram story. Smiling as sweat flowed off his chin and with his white Nike shirt and hair soaked, he added, “I just about got to my number. The target was 800 (kj) output. Forty-five minutes with Alex. Just got there. Sixty-ninth on the leaderboard out of nearly 11,500 people. Grinded on this one and yeah … bring it boys.”
Bill Horschel’s Peloton numbers are on the left. McIlroy’s numbers are on the right.
As people around the United States and other parts of the world continue to practice social distancing in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus, it will be interesting to see where the Peloton competition between some of golf’s top pros heads.
Horschel took to Instagram on Saturday afternoon to tell his followers that he was planning to do another ride on Sunday and hopes others will try to beat him. He also said that it’s McIlroy’s turn to pick the next challenge ride.

Wearables like Apple Watch are popular, but the Whoop 3.0 strap can help you track exertion, recovery and sleep for better performance.
After Rory McIlroy defeated Xander Schauffele at the WGC-HSBC Champions in November, the two exchanged high-fives and a few words on the green. Rory’s white Nike shirt had a black swoosh on it and Schauffele’s blue shirt was adorned with a black Adidas logo, but each player also wore a black, logo-free band around his right wrist.
Back in April, during the final match of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, Maria Fassi had worn a similar-looking white band. Justin Thomas wore a blue one when he won the CJ Cup in October, and Scott McCarron had one on when he captured the Charles Schwab Cup in November.
The device is a Whoop 3.0 strap, and while none of those stars are paid to use it, Whoop is gaining in popularity and has become the fitness tracker of choice for elite golfers. With lots of people making New Year’s resolutions to improve their fitness and play better golf in 2020, is Whoop right for you?
Wearable devices have been around for years and lots of people like wearing Apple watches, Samsung watches and FitBits because they count your steps, track the calories you burn, measure your heart rate and notify you when your smartphone receives a text message. Using third-party apps, some wearables can provide yardages to the hole and hazards on the course, keep score and track golf stats.
Whoop was founded in 2012 by Will Ahmed, a former captain of the Harvard University squash team, because he was interested in learning more about how hard athletes should train, how they can effectively recover after practices and competitions and how much sleep they needed.
As a result, Whoop takes a different approach than other wearables. It does not have a screen, does not show the time and does not vibrate. Looking at it will not tell you a thing. However, pairing it with your smartphone and opening the Whoop app can reveal highly detailed information about how hard your body is working, the quality of your sleep and how recovered you are from the previous day.

Why Whoop appeals to pro golfers
The Whoop strap holds a small electronic sensor that measures your heart rate over 100 times per second. Instead of tracking steps, it measures the amount of strain that your body endures throughout the day from things like exercise, stress and anxiety. Using sophisticated algorithms, it learns how efficiently your heart and body are working and how much strain you should take on based on how recovered you are after resting.
Whoop’s performance marketing manager, A.J. Baker, feels that the information Whoop collects can be especially useful to plane-hopping, fitness-minded athletes like McIlroy, Schauffele, Thomas and Scott Stallings, who has used a Whoop for over two years. Golf requires a combination of physical skills, mental focus and concentration. There is pressure to practice and grind away on the range, and while practice is necessary, golfers, like other athletes, sometimes don’t listen to what their bodies are telling them.
“Think about a professional golfer’s week. Starting on Sunday, after finishing a round, a pro has got to get somewhere else on either a red-eye flight or early the next morning so he can play in practice rounds and pro-ams,” Baker said. “A lot of guys who wear Whoop are seeing the (recovery) effects of taking a red-eye flight, and now most of them won’t take that flight. You might feel a difference that you can push through, but the system really highlights how bad those things are for you.”
Aside from adjusting their travel habits, Baker said a lot of players have tailored their off-course training plans and workloads based on Whoop findings to ensure they are rested and fresh for Thursdays, Fridays and the weekend. Golfers are using Whoop straps to learn how hard they can push themselves and discover their ideal combination of activity, nutrition and rest.
Sliding the battery pack over the strap charges the device while you wear it. (Whoop)
The strap is waterproof and a fully-charged battery lasts about four to five days. However, because the strap is meant to be worn 24 hours a day, Whoop developed a very clever system to recharge the unit. Instead of taking it off and plugging in the strap to a charger, you plug in a small battery pack, charge the pack, and then slide it over the strap to add power while it’s on your wrist.
The elastic band that holds the unit in place is very thin and has a texture on the inside to help reduce sliding. Worn about an inch above your wrist, it does not impede your golf swing. There are also bicep straps available if you don’t want to wear Whoop on your wrist.
What I learned that could help you
It takes about a week for Whoop to start giving your meaningful data. Once it has learned how your heart and body handle exercise, the stress of your day and your sleep patterns, it starts to make recommendations. Here’s what I learned:
My average daily Strain in December was 9.1, so after a strong Recovery percentage on the 14th, I was ready to take on more Strain. (David Dusek/Golfweek)
What time is it? Whoop does not have a display, so if you wear the strap instead of your watch, as I did for a month, you will need to look at your phone or find clocks to tell the time. Wearing my watch on one hand and the Whoop strap on the other felt odd at first, but after about a week I got used to it.
Just one or two drinks can ruin your recovery. After recording good recovery scores for several days, I had two drinks at a holiday party in late December. The following day my recovery score was 29 percent. I wasn’t hungover and felt fine, but the system revealed that my body was not ready for a big workout or excessive strain.
Not all sleep is the same. Getting enough sleep is important, but the quality of my sleep was just as important. I recorded my highest recovery scores, 97 percent, twice, when I slept an hour less than Whoop recommended. On each night, however, I slept deeply. I had taken Melatonin on each of those nights, so I learned that when I really needed rest, popping a Melatonin tablet helped me.
Soreness from working out is avoidable. From mid-November through December I avoided exercising significantly over the Strain Coach feature’s recommendations. I lifted weights, took a few Spinning classes and spent time on the elliptical trainer and never woke up feeling overly tired or sore. I never overdid it, I consciously tried to improve my recovery by getting more sleep and felt better.
The device is free, but you still pay for it. Whoop gives users a strap for free when they commit to paying for a six-month membership to the mobile app at $30 per month. That’s $180, and if you don’t extend the membership to the app, the strap is worthless. Twelve and 18-month membership commitments can reduce your monthly costs, but this level of sophistication is not free.
So can wearing a Whoop 3.0 strap help your performance on the course? Maybe. It will not help you fade a 6-iron over a bunker to a tucked hole location, but if you take tournament season seriously and want to be physically at your best on specific days, Whoop can teach you how hard to train and how to recover wisely, and that might help you save a few strokes.
