My internship with NFL Media began in May 2018. It was the first major media company I worked for and my first time in California.

After over three months with the NFL, I was hooked.

I spent time working with the staff in the newsroom, helped out some of the NFL Fantasy writers and then traveled out to training camps and preseason games to cover the Los Angeles Rams, Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers. The experience was remarkable – both professionally and personally.

I spend the next eight months determined to get back out there. The next summer, I was able to secure a full-time position for the summer of 2019 before my final year at Quinnipiac. The job was similar, but with more experience came much more responsibility. I was trusted to write more in-depth pieces and cover more camps. This allowed me to be more creative as a writer and to pick and choose my spots. Obviously there were certain storylines that I had to cover at camps, but I was given more freedom to write about topics I found intriguing.

Included here are my articles (from both stints) at training camps, minicamps and news stories from my days in the office.

Broncos QB Joe Flacco: 'I've got a lot left in the tank'

Joe Flacco has spent his whole life in the Mid-Atlantic.

He grew up in New Jersey, went to colleges in Pennsylvania and Delaware, then was drafted by Baltimore, so this new opportunity in Denver is a giving him new motivation as he enters Year 12.

"Yeah, there's no doubt [I've got something to prove]," Flacco said. "Listen, I think I've got a lot left in the tank. And I feel like I can do a lot more than I've shown in my 11-year career. I'm excited about that."

The 2019 season probably proved Flacco wrong, but read the full story here.
