Mariel Cooper Gives Redskins Fans a Taste of the Struggle

On tonight's first segment of The Audible, newly minted Redskins defensive back Mariel Cooper helps Redskins fans and Hogs Haven readers get a taste of what it feels like to be fighting every day to fulfill your dreams on an NFL practice field.

I promised bullet points tonight, and I won't let you down, but this deserves to be told by the man himself. Give him a listen and tell me you aren't pulling for this man to earn his way into our defensive backfield. Some of the things we did cover:

• What it's like to work with Josh Norman
• What kind of schedule do you keep when you are pushing your body to its physical limits?
• Versatility, versatility, versatility
• What motivates Mariel Cooper to leave it all on the field (and why he is traveling back to Sumter, South Carolina on June 11)
