TALLAHASSEE, Floida -- After sitting through multi-hour meetings on Wednesday, followed by an intense physical conditioning test 24 hours later, the Florida A&M Rattlers were excited to hit the field for an official practice.
Friday afternoon, their wish was granted.
The ear-piercing sound of Willie Simmons' whistle echoing through the air at 2:30 p.m. ushered in the dawn of Rattler football for the 2018 season.
Decked in their green practice jerseys and orange helmets with white coverings, the players charged out for the first day of football workouts.
"This is a day we've been waiting for for a long time," quarterback Ryan Stanley said.
"All through the summer, we've been waiting to get the helmets on and compete against each other. The time's finally here. We're back on the grind and it just feels great. Overall, both sides of the ball did some good things today. But we still got some work to do."
