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.

Over the course of a period in late July, NFL Media unveiled its list of the Top 100 Players of 2019, as voted on by NFL players.

I was given the responsibility of seeing the list weeks beforehand and writing excerpts for each of the 100 players.

Here is the full list of articles, in sets of 10:
