LITTLE FALLS -- The alarm sounds at 5:30 a.m., even though Ruhann Peele's day is built around something that doesn't start for another 10 hours.

Without his driver's license, he catches a ride with his mother from their home in Piscataway to New Brunswick on her way to a job in information technology in New York City.

Then he bides time at a friend's house, waiting for the 1:36 p.m. train to Secaucus, where he transfers for the Montclair State University station.

This five-day-a-week routine to attend training sessions at Parabolic Performance & Rehab is a difficult way to train for a fleeting NFL dream.
