Seniors usually don’t have to get up in the early morning hours for their offseason workouts.
The awful 6 a.m. lifting sessions are typically reserved for the newcomers, but on Monday morning tight end C.J. Conrad had to go early before representing Kentucky at Southeastern Conference Media Days.
The senior looked over at the rack next to him and had to do a double take.

“I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh,’” Conrad said of seeing new wide receiver Darren Edmond.
