From the Washington Times:

Players will be asked to run on a treadmill while their pulse is monitored. Gibbs recalled how, in his first stint with the club, two players of seemingly equal condition would be revealed as far different in the test.

"They start cranking that treadmill up, and your pulse rate is either going up or it's not," Gibbs said. "[Wide receiver] Gary Clark used to finish the treadmill test with his hands in the air, and he was laughing. I don't think his pulse ever got over 150. And bless his heart, poor Ricky Sanders [another wideout] was about 200 and almost died.

"You can't con [the treadmill test]. We'll know who's ready and who's making the commitment."
