For the entire spring semester, after the punishing grind of the fall football season came to a close, Cox has made the 45-minute drive to Richmond four times a week, arriving shortly before 1 p.m. at Elkin Sports Performance — a small complex in a gritty area overlooking Interstate 95. He goes to bed by midnight each night, rising at 7:30 a.m. — weekends included — to ready his body for peak physical performance. A blue packet from ESP outlines exactly what he eats and what he does not. Included among the latter are cheese and red meat. He rarely socializes on weekend nights, and if he does he arrives back at his apartment before midnight. It is a life dedicated solely to the goal of earning a spot on an NFL roster this fall, a goal which currently trumps all else.
