Sometimes Ariel Ngata just wants to go home and rest — but he doesn’t.
Instead, the Washington linebacker will head to Husky Stadium to study film. If he goes there to eat, he’ll move upstairs and watch with one of the coaches. Even when he’s working on homework for a few hours, he always sets aside 15 to 20 minute breaks to go over a call or two.
