I dont know if you guys read more of the text correspondence but it's clear he really doesn't want to play for anyone else. Love that guy, he's one of very few 'new era' players that are core Redskins

Love the man's spirit....always have. I have no doubt he'll be great in the locker room, will block well enough, and even get open underneath for possession type catches.

Oh, got you. I followed that link, but only skimmed it, thinking that was interviews he had done. Thanks!

I'm convinced he's the long lost son of Riggo.

Great stuff! lol

Wow, I'm just now realizing not only the personality resemblance, but the physical resemblance is surprisingly striking, as well. And about the right age to be his son, too.

Just one case? And they wouldn't go for that?

He should've asked for a six pack for every reception and a case for every TD.
