At times across the past few months, John Franklin-Myers has packed up for the day and turned to his locker-mate a couple of cubbies to the right.
What you about to do? Franklin-Myers has asked Jaleel McLaughlin, the third-year running back who’s been stuck outside the Sunday rotation.
Another workout, McLaughlin often responds. Another workout.
“It’s like, ‘Bruh, go home,’ you know?” Franklin-Myers chuckled on Friday. “Go spend time with your family.”
McLaughlin and his partner welcomed a new baby daughter — Zuri Leilani McLaughlin — during training camp in August.
