Mitch
Crawled Through 5 FB Fields
This move is not surprising. He needs all the publicity he can get to ensure being selected #1 overall. Like Zeno said Teams are wanting to see what this kid has mentally.
Declaring yourself an Icon isn't very humbling. You don't hear these things come out of sucessfull players mouths. Kurt Warner, Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman, Jerry Rice, Emmit Smith, or any other great claim that they are a icon. They let the media and fans say that.
Well said, Vinny.
There's a dichotomy to this tactic...one is you want players to dream great things...the other is...how will it feel to carry Darnell Dockett's pads and helmet to practice every day!
His teammates will humble him in a hurry...that is if the Julius Peppers of the world don't get to him first.
