Less than a year removed from major reconstuctive knee surgery, wide receiver Nate Burleson told The Olympian that his performance at Seahawks training camp is a welcome surprise:
“It feels good,” Burleson said about his knee. “I don’t want to get too excited too early. I’m somewhat surprised, but at the same time the month leading up to training camp I was really busting my butt [at Athletes' Performance] in AZ (Arizona), working out twice a day in that hot weather."
The 7-year-vet says that while in Arizona, he was able test his knee and increase its stability:
Burleson, who turns 28 in a little over two weeks, points to a month spent in Arizona training twice a day at Athletes' Performance for his renewed effort on the field. Burleson said his training regimen emphasized increasing his explosiveness and creating more stability with his surgically repaired knee.
“The only way I could test myself really was to take my knee brace off, go out to Arizona and see what happens,” Burleson said. “And that’s what I did. I didn’t wear my knee brace for a whole month. The first week was tough. I had a lot of soreness. And then my knee started to bounce back quickly.”
