In His Own Words: Running Back Elijah Hood Prepares For First NFL Training Camp
Posted Jul 28, 2017
Elijah Hood: When I first got here, I was a little nervous. I didn’t know what to expect and everything. That kind of went out the window when I got on the field, and the ball was in my hands. You don’t have to think about all this extracurricular stuff; where we are, what we’re doing, it’s football. I’ve been playing football since I was seven. It’s the sport I love.
