Talking New Perception Of The NFL And Innovative Drills W/ Torrance Hunt, NFL Free Agent Awaiting Next Opportunity

First off, as usual, I want to thank God for our success.  I'd be lost with out my path being directed each and everyday.

Torrence Hunt is a 23 year old athlete out of Durham N.C. I caught up with him just long enough for him to shed some insight on his first experience of the NFL.  What caught him by surprise? What did he learn during his road to the NFL.  And he squeaked in some words of encouragement for the next generation to follow the his path.

Torrance took another road to his NFL dreams.  Torrance trained at Michael Johnson's Performance Training facilities in Texas where he nearly fine tuned his combine testing techniques. Torrance had been running a 4.25 40 since high school.  Before his first NFL workout with the Chicago Bears, Torrance went through a series of smaller NFL combines where he impressed scouts with some crazy performances at these combines.  Not like the normal story we hear about on TV where players get a cake walk to their dreams. Where ESPN televises every inch of their life, their pro days, then await their name on Draft Day.   Torrance had to treat this time as a desperation shot. He knew that he wasn't going to get the same treatment as some of these boys that the media turns in to superstars.  He got his shot and made the most of it. The things he learned once he got his first taste surprised me.  Left that workout with a new idea of the NFL.

Plus I sprinkled in a few innovative drills that Torrance picked up on his way. Couple Wr tips as well.  After watching this, I pray that if the NFL is your goal, you see that you have to separate yourself NOW.  You can not be mixed in the crowd.  You have to stand out.  Listen to the business of the NFL and understand that you have to make a coach say "I need him on my team".  And this goes for any level.  Are you at that point where a coach will say, "I need that kid on my team"? If not, every single day you have to grind!!! No Breaks.  While you're sleeping, taking breaks, others are passing you by.

Enjoy!
