Patriots' Milton Williams has a newfound respect for pro boxers after putting on the gloves to cross-train
Briefly

Milton Williams has included boxing in his offseason workouts to enhance his hand-eye coordination and cardio fitness. At 6-foot-3 and 290 pounds, staying in shape requires substantial movement. Boxing has provided him with a fun cross-training method. Williams found that the workout improved his performance during the last season, where he contributed significantly to his team's success. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel praised Williams for his dedication, leadership, and professionalism, indicating that he is a committed player who takes care of his health and training.
"I started last year, before last season just to (help) with my hand-eye coordination, but, most importantly, it's good for cardio."
"Those three minute rounds, they get long, so its good. When you come out here, you get in between plays - unless they're going tempo - like 30 or 40 seconds so you're feeling good with the minute break that you get in boxing."
