For Central Connecticut running back Justise Hairston, a sixth-round draft pick, there was never an offseason, even though the Blue Devils' season ended in the fall.
"I started conditioning myself, doing things that I did in college, even in high school," said Hairston, who, like former Patriots safety Tebucky Jones, calls New Britain home. "I asked Tebucky what kind of things they do here, just to give me a head start.
"You have to work out on your own. If you take time off, you're losing already. Any day you're not working to get better, you're getting worse. There is always something you can do to better yourself."
-----
"It doesn't end. This is a full-time job," Hairston said. "I don't think people really understand that. It's truly a morning-to-night thing, and it should be. People are trying hard to perfect their skills, and they should take pride in that.
"Preparation is most important, and anytime you have an opportunity to better yourself, you should take advantage of it. That's what you should do."
-----
With the rookie minicamp behind them, the Patriots' newest players can concentrate on the thick playbook they were issued. They were also taught how to use the film system, and Hairston already had plans to watch films of the offense with free agent quarterback Matt Gutierrez Sunday night. Players are housed in a motel 15 minutes away, and their three meals are served buffet-style inside Gillette Stadium.

Saw the blurb, too. Dropped some passes. Must have had the "yips".

No, he looked good in running drills, he just had a few problems receiving (dropped some balls). The Patriots don't want him for his receiving ability anyways, and he has training camp to work on it. He didn't look terrible at all.

recieving is important for any running back, especally one from central conn., you mean to tell me your going to keep a runner who cant catch? what happens if the runner who catches passes gets hurt? you change your offense to fit hairston? of course not there are enough backup runners that can both run and catch, i could understand your argument if he had blazing speed which he does not

It's just ROOKIE camp. Rookies are rookies. WAY too soon to characterize anyone except the very, very worst. They get cut.
