When Travis Fisher was a college defensive back at Central Florida, he and position-mate Asante Samuel had what amounted to a standard operating procedure.
“When me and him went to school together, we were roommates and we competed on everything,” Fisher said. “Every single thing outside of football. … Who can get the most sleep? The craziest things.”
Fisher ended up playing nine years in the NFL, while Samuel played 11, racking up 51 career interceptions, first-team All-Pro honors in 2007, four Pro Bowl appearances and two Super Bowl titles.
Head coach Scott Frost has repeatedly pointed to the defensive backs group as the position that made the biggest change year-over-year in winter conditioning.
