Daniels has The Redskin Report conjuring up images of pulling planes, but Redskins coach Jim Zorn says he has no problem at all with the way Daniels is spending his off-season:
"He's trying to be a strong man, and doing a pretty good job of it," Zorn said. "He'll be around as well. It's not like he's going to be gone for the whole offseason.
Coaches generally don't much like it when players skip off-season workouts, regardless of the reason, and the deadlift has been known to result in back injuries. But there are certainly worse things a football player could do with his time off.

1. First off, the video states in the beginning he went 9-9 in powerlifting that is 3 successful squats, benches, and deadlifts. Secondly, the deadlift is not known to cause back injuries, doing it wrong may, but I seriously doubt an NFL football player who's taken the time out to compete in powerlifting doesn't know how to deadlift correctly.

2. i'd like to go 9 for 9 at the next meet. I think strongman training would be better for football then powerlifting but hey I love powerlifting, strongman and the Redskins so this is all good
