Buffalo Bills linebacker Preston Brown has a very good reason for wearing hooded sweatshirts in practice during the summer, and it has nothing to do with performance.
"Everybody thinks I wear it to try to sweat," Brown told ESPN's Mike Rodak. "I just like wearing it because I hide candy in there."
Brown's candies of choice are gummy bears sealed in wrappers. Fortunately, he doesn't have to supply his own because the Bills have a longstanding tradition of defensive rookies purchasing candy for the team.
"Everybody goes through the candy year," Brown said. "I had to get it for (Brandon) Spikes and Keith Rivers and all those guys. I think I was the best candy getter, but (Reggie Ragland) is second place right now."
