So relentless in following a process of preparation that means they try and do everything in their control to succeed. Even by the huge work ethic of the NFL they stand out...
For mortals it must be exhausting to work in that environment - thats why i think some players just do not fit there and some so called 'lesser talents' thrive ....its not the 40 yard speed, or the height /weight ..its your appetite to work and adhere to the plan that defines your success there, not your previous achievements or media presence
There was also an Internet article (can't remember the source) about all of the Pats players having to run up the hills outside of their practice site. Even up to the couple of weeks before the SB. The Pats player quoted said that all of the players hate it but the do it 'cause BB tells them to. It was evident in the SB that the Falcon's D was worn out the the 4th quarter ... but not the Pats.
There's your 99% perspiration.
