Apparently The First Practice Was Hot
Posted by on July 27, 2012 – 9:21 amSimply put: There were several sweaty men practicin’ some football Thursday afternoon at Redskins Park.
It was the Washington Redskins’ first training camp practice of the 2012 season, and with the heat index in Ashburn, Va., reaching as high as 107 degrees by 4 p.m. — smack dab in the middle of practice — the players obviously found themselves exhausted afterwards.
Ahh, football is back.
Here are several tweets from players after practice:
Quarterback Robert Griffin III:
Day 1 down
Felt Good
Thanks to all the fans who came out and supported Their Skins
