Following Day 3 of Detroit Lions training camp, as players disperse to their post-practice functions, reserve left tackle Giovanni Manu spent his recovery time running sprints up the training hill at the back of the practice field. He’s grinding out every moment he has in Allen Park, hoping to improve his ability to play left tackle in the NFL.
At 6-foot-8, 340 pounds, rapidly ascending that steep incline is no easy task, but when you consider he attended OTAs in the spring at 365 pounds, it’s clear he’s taking the proper steps to improve himself.
Getting into better shape is just one of many target goals in Manu’s NFL journey.
