WESTON DRESSLER

Q: How has your CFL training camp experience helped you prepare for this camp?

DRESSLER: “A lot. The more you do, the more experiences you have in life. I’ve been playing football for a long time, so I’ve been through a lot of camps now. Obviously different camp, different league and rules and different things like that, but I’ve played a lot of football so I know what camp entails and what you have to do to try and make a team.”

Q: Before the break, what did you do to keep in shape?

DRESSLER: “Run. I ran a lot, a lot of routes on my own doing gassers and things like that to try to get your body as prepared as possible. You really can’t get yourself fully prepared for a camp. It’s nothing like running against guys full speed, getting after it and competing. You do as much as you can running around.”

Q:  Do you feel like there is a speed (from CFL to NFL) difference yet?

DRESSLER: “I think wait for the pads and feel it out from there, but there’s obviously bigger, faster, stronger everywhere involved. Just do what you can and adapt as best as I can.”

Q: Trying to make the team, do you have to hold a role on special teams?

DRESSLER: “Absolutely, the more you can do the better chances you have to make the team. Whatever they want to ask me to do, I’m going to go out there and try and do it for them.”

AA: This is how Dressler is going to make the team – be a jack of all trades. Returning punts, situational passing downs, covering kicks and punt, that’s the best way for him to have value immediately. It is hard right now to see him having a huge influence in the passing game right away so being able to be on the field in different ways is going to be big for him.

Q: What are the advantages of these three days?

DRESSLER: “For me, it’s just trying to take in as much as I can getting more comfortable with the playbook, getting the reps, getting more comfortable with the timing of the plays when the ball should be out and when you should be in and out of your breaks expecting the ball. So, take in as much as you can.”
