Hey LS Football: this winter when the pads come off, think about lacing up the wrestling shoes! Tag a football player below who should wrestle this season.
Here's what Patriots rookie Gabe Jacas said how wrestling helped his football growth. Jacas was a 2X Florida State Champ in HS.
“...being low, having leverage, using your hands, fighting, those all keyed into football,” Jacas explained. “Wrestling has a lot of trade over into football, especially with hand fighting. Especially at this position on the edge, you got to use your hands effectively, and that’s one thing that I carried over the most with is being able to use my hands efficiently and effectively. So, everyone knows me as a football player, but wrestling had a big part in that as well.”
