Linebacker Manti Te'o is reportedly seeing the game "way faster"
Foot injuries have plagued Chargers linebacker Manti Te'o thus far in his short, two-year career.
But he recently told the San Diego Union-Tribune that he's entering this 2015 season in better shape, which hopefully will prevent such injuries from happening again.
"I'm doing everything that I can in my power, just working out, eating right, just trying to be in the best shape that I can," he said. "And that's all I can do— take care of my body and take care of my feet."
He also told the newspaper he is seeing the game faster.
"Way faster. I can't tell you how much different it is," Te'o said at the end of spring camp last month. "It feels so comfortable out there, to finally be out there and just play ball."
