There’s no easy days. It’s not like other places around the league, where you might be a 10-year vet and get a day off here and there.

Some of the most demanding elements of Reid’s camps are the “long drive” team periods, which occur once the novelty of camp has worn off and with the first preseason game still a few days away. The projected starters can be on the field for as many as 20 repetitions in less than 15 minutes.My favorite day in camp was always Day 1 of pads.
