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.

Chargers DC on rookie Jerry Tillery: 'You saw flashes'

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- As he returns from injury, Chargers first-round pick Jerry Tillery is making a strong impression -- on and off the field.

Tillery, 22, had surgery to repair a torn labrum before the draft in March and fell to L.A. at No. 28 overall. The former Notre Dame defensive tackle missed OTAs and minicamp but made his debut at training camp on July 25.

"We have a great training staff here and my rehab has gone really well," Tillery said after practice Sunday. "I'm feeling great and moving even better."
