Guice still learning learning how to hold back in practice

RICHMOND — Derrius Guice has been soaking up his first NFL training camp. The Redskins rookie running back routinely spends 30-45 minutes after practice, signing autographs. He gets along well with teammates and has even received advice from former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann.

Guice said that so far, the NFL is everything he thought it would be.

“Football is a fun game,” Guice said. “I’m finally at the highest level, man.”

But while Guice is having fun, there is at least one area the 21-year-old finds himself having to work on — knowing when, and specifically when not, to go at full speed.
