Every NFL offseason you hear about a player doing some off-the-wall training to get stronger, faster, or quicker. Usually it entails doing some kind of old school exercise people did in the 1800s or going with the new hot trend of mixed martial arts training that so many players have started doing.
D.J. Williams Vs. Cow For Offseason Championship Belt
Green Bay Packers tight end D.J. Williams had another idea, however, as he decided that it would be a good idea to wrestle cows. This is not a joke.
“That works out real good, especially if you get them with the baby calf; they’re really aggressive,” Williams said, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. “That really helped. It starts out as cow-tipping but once they start charging, you have to go to defense mode.
“I guess it’s three things: for a good time, for football, obviously, and it’s a good way to impress a girl. It’s very impressive. Usually, you say, ‘Let’s go cow tipping,’ and they feel it’s a good rush when the cows start chasing you and stuff. They think it’s to impress them, but I’m really working on my football stuff at the same time. Two birds, one stone.”
