RB Priest Holmes stopped by the kcchiefs.com offices at Arrowhead Stadium recently and caught up with Patrick Herb on how he’s staying in shape, the football exploits of his sons and his thoughts on the national champion University of Texas Longhorns.
PATRICK HERB: Hey Priest, thanks for stopping by and chatting with us on kcchiefs.com. You’ve got tons of Chiefs fans out there who can’t wait to hear what’s been going on in your life lately.
PRIEST HOLMES: “Great… no problem.”
HERB: So you spent the last nine weeks of the season on injured reserve. Tell all of your loyal fans what your rehab process has been like – if in fact there even is a rehab process for this type of injury.
HOLMES: “No rehab process actually. The only thing I really have to do is just maintain my conditioning. That’s a matter of doing the elliptical, doing some running and lifting weights. Concerning the injury… it’s the more rest I can get, the better it will become.”
HERB: How many hours a day are you spending staying in shape and conditioning?
HOLMES: “Right now because it’s considered the off-season, I’m trying to take advantage of that by spending time with family. My sister just had a little one, so I’ve spent more of my time traveling and being with family. But of course, now that our time is officially over in terms of the season, I’ll be able to get back to running around and doing some jogging right now. It’ll mainly just be just conditioning and that will consist of maybe two to three miles just to kind of get that rhythm back and my legs under me.”
