"Falcons Pro Bowl wide receiver Roddy White didn't want to chat after taking part in his first players-only practice on Tuesday.

Perhaps, he was tired after running several 100-yard sprints because the offense lost a challenge to the defense at the end of practice.

"No interviews, baby," White said. "I came out here to work. The first day of training camp, y'all got me."

White has attended two other workouts, but wasn't comfortable with the field turf. Also, last week he held a football camp in his hometown of Charleston, S.C. He's been working out alone and appeared to be in great shape.

"He's been having a really good offseason," Ryan said. "I thought he was really productive today. He was himself. He was out here running around, joking and doing his thing. I think it was good for Julio [Jones] to see how Roddy does his thing and get a couple of tidbits here and there. All in all, it was very productive."

Ryan couldn't contain his excitement about having White and Jones, the team's 2011 first round draft pick, running routes together for the first time."
