What’s the best thing about minicamp for an NFL football player?
“The best thing is that it’s over,” says Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb.
“The best thing is that nobody got hurt,” says Eagles free safety Brian Dawkins.
“Any minicamp where nobody gets hurt is a good minicamp,” says Eagles defensive end Brandon Whiting.
And there you have it. The presiding feeling amongst the veteran faces in the Eagles locker room regarding the team’s recently completed two-week minicamp is rather simple: thank God it’s over.
It is a necessary evil, the daily grind of meetings and workouts and – one that most established players would rather forget altogether (consider a few veteran members of the Rams, whose complaints about practice lengths could cost St. Louis its next round of offseason workouts). And for most teams, a successful minicamp is a minicamp in which there are no injuries. Perhaps no member of the Eagles knows that better than Correll Buckhalter.
