Easy vs Hard Training Camp

If the players come into camp in top shape then there is no need to beat them up with a brutal camp.  All that does is wear them down.  But if the show up soft or sloppy then run their asses off.

By the time a player is in the NFL you are not going to make him any tougher by having him pound heads during training camp.  If a guy is tough enough to make the NFL he is not going to get mentally soft over the offseason.

In college the offseason workouts are when coaches toughen up players.  They push the players to the point of breaking without having to worry about them having dead legs come game day.

And that's the other side of it. It does depend on the team.

And there are different skills. Perhaps less conditioning and more learning of the offense and defense?
