I was out at Winter Park for today's OTA practice. A couple things jumped out at me:
. The only starters there were safeties Madieu Williams and Tyrell Johnson. I'm not a big believer in OTAs, so it doesn't bother me that more starters weren't there. But it does impress me that the two safeties are there. I'm guessing the coaches strongly hinted that they show up. But either way it was nice to see two players who need to get better show up and try to get better.
. Heath Farwell was there. That comes as no shock to anyone. He's 100 percent blue collar and hasn't forgotten where he came from as a former undrafted rookie. But it was still nice to see that a Pro Bowl didn't change this guy's attitude or approach.
. Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels handle the Brett Favre situation as well as anybody could. Yeah, they've got little choice. But they could whine and complain and bite people's heads off when asked about Favre. But they don't. They just show up for work.
Now, three questions off the top of my head ...
1. Which NFL player has the most to prove in 2010? I've selected three that have something to prove for three different reasons. I'd love to hear suggestions from readers as to which player they think have the most to prove this season.
Here's my three, with my answer below:
A, JaMarcus Russell.
He'll have to study and prove behind the scenes that he has the work ethic to keep a job in the NFL.
