This offseason, Daniels took the Father Time burden and lifted it from his shoulders. Literally. The Washington Redskins veteran joined a powerlifting team and has become a sensation. At a meet in March, he won his weight class with a 633-pound squat and a 600-pound dead-lift. And he's not done yet. When his teammates scatter for vacation at the end of this week's o |
