PITTSFORD -- During last summer's training camp, Preston Brown shared one of his snacking secrets, which sounded a bit odd in a business where supreme physical conditioning is supposed to be the standard.

The Buffalo Bills' linebacker flashed a mischievous smile as he told reporters about wearing a hoodie under his jersey that had a pocket in which he stored gummies. It would allow him to consume handfuls of the sugary treats during practice with no one being the wiser.

That was how things were done in the anything-goes-world of Rex Ryan.

In the Sean McDermott regime, where accountability is high and details -- such as the type of fuel players put into their bodies -- matter, Brown's gummy binges are a thing of the past. Or so Brown says.

"No candy in practice no more, none of the little stuff like that," Brown said. "I got a chef now. I’m trying to eat healthy – a lot of green stuff.

"It’s been different, just trying to make sure my body can maintain through the whole season."
