PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- With temperatures reaching nearly 90 degrees under cloudless skies Thursday at Buffalo Bills training camp, athletic trainers told several players to take off their hooded sweatshirts they had insisted on wearing under their shoulder pads.
Count linebacker Preston Brown among those peeved at the decision. After all, Brown only wore the hoodie for one reason: to stash candy and gum in the front pocket to eat during practice.
"Everybody thinks I wear it to try to sweat," he said. "I just like wearing it because I hide candy in there."
Brown worked around the directive and found a lighter weight shirt with pockets to stockpile his sweets Thursday.
