DeAndre Thompkins, with his hands clasped together, looked down at his right wrist as he sat inside the Beaver Stadium media room Tuesday afternoon.
The Penn State senior wideout grinned as he stared at his team-issued black electronic wristband.
“I wear it 24/7,” Thompkins said. “It doesn’t come off.”
Thompkins loves WHOOP. No, not the loud noise — a fitness tracking device that records athletes’ sleep, stress level and overall health. It can measure how athletes are recovering, and offers recommendations on how to improve in those areas.
Penn State football introduced the technology to the Nittany Lions in the spring.
