Elijah Hood: "It's Time To Show What You've Been Practicing"
Posted Oct 29, 2017
Elijah Hood knows that the NFL game – and the talent up and down each team’s roster – is a far cry from what he saw in the ACC, but he’s doing everything he can this week to get prepared for his possible NFL debut. “I do a lot to make sure I can be as prepared as possible, and I lean a lot on the veterans to help me be as prepared as I possibly can be,” Hood explained.
