I've never quite understood this aspect of professional athletics. You pay your nutritionists and S&C staff handsomely (I assume) but all these guys go rogue from January until TC.
If I'm an organization, I'd want my players on my routine - not off eating Gilbert Burgers or "Sweating to the Oldies" for 6 months.

That's why you have to try to draft for good hard working blue collar players.
Though I have thought/wondered if the Packers might have too many that lead by example or maybe more correctly said not enough that lead vocally. Could it be that Woodson vocally leading was one of the things that put them over the top?
The Packers seem to have a lot of natrual leaders, but almost all of them are leaders by example and almost none that are naturally vocal leaders... Daniels seems like he's one, but that's seems to be about it. Though I'll also give props to Lang, while that's technical leading by example, he takes it to a whole different level, where his actions to speak volumes and rally guys at times, when he stands up for teammates.
