He is looking out for the players. I would like a guy like that in the locker room.
- They were voluntary OTAs.
- COVID-19 was still raging and he didn't want players catching it
- He believed that the virtual off-season in 2020 contributed to less soft tissue injuries and fewer concussions.
So you would want to be a coach and trying to do your job with installing the playbook and helping teach techniques with a player telling the others to skip OTA's?
OTA's are voluntary, but coaches would still rather have all their players there than not to prepare their players as thoroughly as possible. A player who actively campaigns against that is not someone coaches and FO personnel are going to want to deal with.
