Whatever Jon Gruden does, he does it with passion. One can figure that out easily by his often overly ecstatic remarks when discussing certain players on ESPN’s Monday Night Football or by watching his past NFL sound FX while coaching.
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson has quickly picked up on Gruden’s intensity.
“The energy level that [Gruden] brings is amazing,” Nelson said on Tuesday. “And somehow I think he’s consistent with it day-in and day-out, which is pretty impressive. That’s fun and I think we’ll fed off of that. I think that’s kind of why we’re successful today and our tempo and what we were able to accomplish today, because he’s bringing the energy and it feeds down to the rest of us.
