NFL at Practice

• The New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys had scouts viewing today’s session.

Extra Notes

• ASU athletic director Ray Anderson was in attendance.
• Seniors Laiu Moeakiola and Edmond Boateng had some fun with student media before practice. Following Fiso off the bus, who had an apparent limp, Moeakiola and Boateng then began pretending to limp, holding onto one another while walking up to the field, before laughing at the joke as they passed. No, neither player is injured.
