Option 2:

Normally during the offseason, Mendenhall will go on a vacation or two with some friends to calm himself before the season, but this season is different. Since he's being called up to the show, Mendenhall has decided to put in some extra work and kiss @Nike's ass in order to get in good standing with his new owner. His first day in Chicago's gym, He spent alone as he was the only one who had shown up, and for good reason. It was 2 weeks before any optional off-season workouts even started. He just wanted to get to work early and make sure he was prepared for the start of his rookie season. Over the course of the next 2 weeks, He worked on everything he could, and he even made sure to do leg day once or twice. Not only did he work out in the gym but he spent some time on the ice playing for a local Chicago beer league team.
