Former ASU walk-on Levi Jones comes to Triple Threat Performance to prepare for the upcoming NFL season. Levi Jones was the 10th overall pick of the 2002 draft by the Cincinnati Bengals and for the next 7 seasons he was the starting left tackle. He is currently the most sought after free agent left tackle in professional football and is waiting for the right situation before he signs with a team.
He is joined by his training partner, Barry Gardner, a walk-on standout at Northwestern. At Northwestern Barry become the second all-time leading tackler in wildcat history with 468 total tackles. He was an all big ten performer as a junior, a second team all-america, and a first team all big ten academia selection, then as a senior he was a first team all america and first team all big ten. After his senior campaign Barry went on to become the 35th pick overall in the 1999 draft by the philadelphia eagles. He followed four seasons with the Eagles by signing with the Browns and after two seasons in cleveland he moved to the Jets an finally finished his career in New England.
Both Levi and Barry bring an exceptional commitment and intensity to their training. It is easy to see why these veterans have both spent seven-plus years in the NFL. The goal of the initial phase of their program was to correct movement imbalances and to rehab pre-existing conditions from the prior season. Structural balance and aerobic capacity was also a key priority. The second phase emphasized anaerobic capacity, anaerobic power, and aerobic capacity. This was accomplished through strength training, speed training, jump training, and med-ball work.
