There’s no immediate accountability for NFL players in their offseason training because the lockout prevents them from working out at their teams’ facilities or contact with team officials. Teams’ strength and conditioning programs are on hold, so players have to be self-motivated in their workouts.
It stands to reason, then, that a player with a questionable work ethic easily could slack off during this period. In fact, coaches throughout the league have said that the lockout will highlight the divide between players who are dedicated to their craft and those who aren’t.
This was in the back of my mind as I reached out to several Redskins for the story I wrote for today’s paper. Many are diligently working out on their own so they will be in good shape when the Redskins Park doors reopen to them.
Left tackle Trent Williams is one of those players.
