Detroit Lions edge rusher Trey Flowers is generally a private person, but as is often the case with high-profile players, there is an expectation from teams that they give fans a peek at who they are and what they do off the field.
The Lions’ media department does a terrific job of bridging the gap, allowing players to share at their comfort level, while also making entertaining videos fans want to watch.
In their latest video, the Lions’ media department and Flowers give fans a behind-the-scenes look at his offseason training program. Here are some of the highlights.
The video opens with Flowers inviting fans into the Phase 3 Fitness training facility to watch him workout. He explains how after the season, he takes a few weeks off to allow his body to heal, then starts back up with core training and lighter weights.
Flowers continues to explain how as a veteran he has learned how to prioritize warming up as not to aggravate or cause injury, as well as building strength without sacrificing flexibility. He goes on to explain that during the season, players work to maintain strength, and why they need to rely on the offseason to get healthy and gain strength.
