NAPA – J’Marcus Webb spent last fall away from football. The first such break of his athletic life wasn’t welcome. At times, it was downright tortuous.
Webb got hurt in while in 2014 training camp with the Kansas City Chiefs, and was cut before the regular season. It wasn’t a good start to his fourth NFL season, which ended before it truly began.
As he got healthy again, the urge came back. It was time to hit.
“I’ve been playing this game for years, and your body gets used to hitting and striking guys at a certain point in the year,” Webb said.
