What drives Cameron Wake?The desire to be better today than he was yesterday.
Now let’s flip that question.
What does Cam Wake drive?
A loaded Range Rover. And sometimes he’s the engine.
That two-ton luxury vehicle has been Wake’s secret weapon during an 11-month rehab from a torn Achilles tendon.
Wake makes his long-anticipated return to the football field in Seattle Sunday, and his Range Rover deserves at least some of the credit. The SUV often doubles as the most expensive -- and probably most effective -- blocking sled on the planet.
As part of his rehab, he pushed it through the streets of South Florida.
“There's an area near where I live where they haven't really built it up too much, so it's just a paved road,” Wake said. “Not many people watching. ... The hardest part is starting it. Once you get it moving, it's just ‘drive your legs’ after that.”
So this is how Wake spent his offseason: Pushing cars. Running hills. Midnight weight-lifting sessions.
All of that self-sacrifice was to get Wake’s body ready for what’s to come: an NFL season in which he has much to prove -- and as many doubters to silence -- than any since the first of his remarkable career.
Many players aren’t the same after tearing their Achilles. Very few players are the same when they reach the mid-30s.

The guy just isn't human. Period.

Sometimes I think he just goes 75% because if he actually went 100% we'd figure it out.
 
I would have loved to have seen this. Love how creative He is when it comes to his rehab. Everyone else doesn't come back 100% so he says I'm gonna try something different. Hope it worked

Wake continued: “We just have to live with ourselves. I guarantee you, my standards are higher than anybody else's. ... I've never worried about them. The mob is fickle.”

Wake understands football fans...
 
That's crazy. Wake is ready to tear it up this year. Go get 20 sacks. This guy could do that
 
Reminds me of Walter Peyton running up hills of boulders - that was how Peyton would train...Wake deserves to be in the Hall of Fame and he needs to turn the page on part III of his FREAKIN AMAZING career - we LOVE you WAKE keep it up brother!!!!
 
All of the greats go above and beyond and it takes over everything they do. This is an awesome example for the rest of us. If we want to be really good at something we need to work our butts off and not just on company time. :-)
