The New England Patriots are known for their tough practices and strenuous conditioning work.
But Lamar Miller wasn’t prepared for just how taxing that work would be.
One day after making his Patriots practice debut, the veteran running back admitted he was surprised by the intensity of New England’s conditioning test.
“Since I’ve been in the league, I’ve never ran that much,” Miller, who signed with the Patriots on Aug. 13, said Tuesday. “It was just different for me. They make sure you’re in top, great shape. That’s something that I haven’t experienced. So coming in here, once they put me through the conditioning stuff, that was different for me.
