Daily News | Eagles’ Britain Covey is trying to make his size become irrelevant with his speed
The foundation of Britain Covey’s football career is a mantra passed down by his grandfather.When the Eagles’ training camp hopeful was around 10 years old, his parents started bringing him into devotionals led by his grandfather Stephen Covey, the author ofBritain wasn’t exactly an eager participant at first.
When reflecting on the two years spent doing missionary work in a foreign country, Covey’s second mantra comes into play. Latter-day Saints missions are voluntary for members of the church, but many men and some women in the church choose to do them. Missionaries are randomly assigned, some international and some domestic, and are mostly disconnected from their families and friends. The missionaries are given a half hour each morning to exercise before starting a 12-to-14-hour day of work that includes service, studying, and sermons.“Going back to what my grandpa says, it’s a paradigm shift in life,” Covey said.
He’d watched Covey and a fellow missionary push a car out of some flooding once, but didn’t exactly see a Division I football player before him. It didn’t hurt that Utah was coached by Kyle Whittingham, the older brother of Covey’s high school coach, Cary. “He runs like he’s running for his life,” Whittingham said. “I guess when you’re 160 pounds and you’ve got 230-pound guys bearing down on you, that’s somewhat true. Every time he touches the ball, he’s electric. You’re just amazed at the things he can do. The cuts he can make, and the sheer speed.”
