“He’s expecting us to be able to run for as long as we can,” Rice said Wednesday of Reid. “And I told them, to be honest with y’all, I don’t mind puking. That just means I’m working as hard as a can so that I won’t puke no more and be ready for the games.”

“As expected, they always tell us to come, be in shape,” Rice told reporters. “Our wide receivers, this is like a track team as far as our wide receivers group. So, we come knowing that we got to be expected to run as long until the game is over, until the practice is over.”

“We’re looking forward to getting this thing started,” Reid said, according to the team site. “[We have] a good group of guys coming in [for this rookie camp]. We’ll be about one deep, so [we’ll] have to work the rotation as we go with the camp, but it’ll be good to get these young guys some reps, [and I’m] looking forward to that.”

“I think it’s great for the young guys. I think it’s good for the older guys just to get tuned up, [and] they know what it takes to get themselves ready for the season,” Reid said. “This is a way to knock a little rust off, but for the young guys, I think it’s even more beneficial.”
