Northern Iowa football coach Todd Stepsis on the importance of summer workouts

Northern Iowa football coach Todd Stepsis says summer workouts help build momentum into preseason camp, especially for players coming off an injury. The Panthers are in the second half of summer workouts as they look to improve upon last season’s 3-9 record.

Stepsis says the summer is a time for players coming off an injury to make up ground.
