Terence Newman, who will turn 40 in September, seems to have a permanent spot on the NFL’s HGH radar as long as the cornerback is in the playoffs doing what guys who are 24 can’t seem to do. The NFL sent Newman this morning his third HGH blood draw in a little over a month and doesn’t seem convinced the corner who will play in his 231 NFL game on Sunday is doing it without help.
From the Star-Tribune:
For Newman, survival in the NFL means a meticulous approach to film study and nutrition, whether it’s food, supplements or his favorite red wine. For all the work he does helping younger teammates, he sometimes gets them into trouble.
What keeps him going?
Newman’s drive at this age, he says, is “chasing the hot babe,” known to the masses as the Lombardi Trophy.
“The hot chick is an arm’s reach away,” Newman said, “She’s getting hotter by the moment.”
Players are subject to no more than six tests per calendar year unless there’s cause and never on game days.
Maybe the NFL was shocked that Newman (foot injury) played Sunday after being “limited in practice on Wednesday and Friday, and he didn’t practice at all on Thursday.” HGH testing in the NFL started back in 2014. The NFL announced in September 2017 that testing had finally resulted in positive tests.
Just don’t like getting stuck every other week is all.
