C.J. Anderson is gearing up for practice this spring like he forgot he plays for the Carolina Panthers instead of the Denver Broncos.
Long-sleeved shirts. Long pants. A hoodie. A jersey.
“I’ve always been in sweats and a hoodie since I came in my rookie year,” Anderson said this week. “That’s just how I practice. You practice heavy — and then you play light.”
It makes sense in the same way that some athletes wear ankle weights during workouts or swing two bats in the on-deck circle. But what about at Wofford College in August, where the Panthers training camp in Spartanburg often features “90-90” days (90 degrees, 90 percent humidity)?
