TAMPA, Fla. -- The Detroit Lions aren't the only team holding Olympic track and field watch parties this training camp. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will also hold one at 7:55 a.m. Monday morning -- just moments before taking the practice field -- to watch Anna Cockrell, sister of cornerback Ross Cockrell, compete in Semifinal 3 of the women's 400-meter hurdles.
Cockrell, who was a key reserve on the Bucs' Super Bowl winning team last year, is elated his younger sibling gets a chance to live out her dream, even if he can't be there to witness it.
