Boldin Hits the Books - Rookie Camp Practice Report #4
As the temperature soared close to a 100 degrees out, the Arizona Cardinals held their fourth practice for the rookies mid-morning on Thursday.
Rookie wide receiver Anquan Boldin is quickly agreeing with the boast of most Arizona residents that at least it’s a “dry heat.” After playing his collegiate career at Florida State, he’s already acclimated to hot weather, but with a lot more humidity involved.”
“The heat out here, I can definitely play in it,” said Boldin. “I guess you may have a problem if you are from up North, but coming from Florida I think I can bear with it. I prefer the dry heat to the humidity. It’s a lot better.”
McGinnis has been impressed with what he is seeing from his rookie receivers.
“The rookie receiver we have are all very capable. Bryant (Johnson) and Anquan are very, very bright people and they are working at it. You can tell they are going to be businesslike in their approach to it.”
Boldin, Johnson and the rest of the rookie class couldn’t tell you what they think about the Phoenix area yet as they’re all pretty much sharing that businesslike approach.
“We haven’t had enough time to do much of anything but football,” explained Boldin. “All the rookies pretty much have their noises in the book and when we leave the facility, we are pretty tired. We usually get something to eat, take a nap and get back into studying our books.”
Boldin clearly understands that with the competition at receiver, any edge will help and he’s doing his best to soak up a little bit of everything.
“Basically for me, I am just trying to gather everything and am learning on and off the field,” shared Boldin. “I am really getting in my books and trying to learn what is going on out here because I think that will be the determining factor of who gets out there in the end.”
The Cardinals will wrap up rookie mini camp Friday morning.
