Welcome to our Rookie Diary Series with Eagles running back Will Shipley.

Each week, I'll talk to the fourth round pick from Clemson

to get his thoughts on his first season in Midnight Green.

We hope you enjoy.

Okay. So how did you manage with the short week in terms of recovery and things like that?

I have to imagine that was like the quickest turnaround for you.

Yeah, it was definitely different.

You know, it was the first time I've played two games in that short of time.

I'm trying to think, what would, in college I played on Monday night and Saturday.

So is that the same amount of days?

Monday to Saturday, so that'd be five, six.

I think it's still a little shorter. So, yeah, this was the quickest turnaround I've ever had.

And it was definitely interesting, but, you know, the quickest turnaround I've ever had. And it was definitely

interesting, but, you know, the organization does such a great job of taking care of us. And

really just allows you to hone in on the mental aspect of things, you know. So that's what I was

able to do, get the physical aspect ready to go and do all the recovery that you can here at home on the

plane over there I mean whenever you can get it in you got to get the recovery in just because of how

short the week was but the mental aspect of it was great to be able to you know just feel that

feel what it's like to have to cram get ready for a team and a short amount. Now for a younger player, now that you play Dallas and then Washington back to back,

did you get the sense that there was more intensity going into that for a divisional

week?
