Tennessee Titans cornerback Logan Ryan has taken up an interesting activity as of late with an interesting training partner.
The New Jersey product has been boxing this offseason with Titans great Eddie George, via Jim Wyatt of the Titans official website.
“[Boxing] translates to you being on the football field, especially for a guy like Logan,” George said, via the team’s website. “When you are playing the press coverage and jamming up a receiver, knowing where the hand placement goes, which shoulder to go after to get the receiver off-balance and so forth, all that helps out. And from a mental standpoint and hand-eye coordination, it puts you in a different frame of mind, if you will. I like to call it spiritual conditioning. … He’s picked up the nuances of the punches and knowing when to slip and when to dip, and when to lay a combination. It’s now gotten into his muscle memory, and it is fascinating how he is able to mirror the hands with the feet, and it is going to translate well when he goes on the field.”
Ryan, 27, is entering his second season with the Titans. After four successful seasons in New England with the Patriots—winning two Super Bowls—Ryan signed on with the Titans for three years and moved to Tennessee prior to the 2017 campaign.
George, 44, is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania product who needs to introduction. Drafted 14th overall by way of the 1996 NFL Draft to the Houston Oilers, George represents one of the most recognizable backs the franchise has employed since the move to the Music City.
