I just don't think Sultan adds anything that Morton doesn't already do better. If Rock can catch then he'll probably make the squad.

That's true, but with Sultan's speed, he could make an excellent gunner on punts. I would like to see him get a chance to return some kicks, just to see what he can do, but I doubt he would be any better than Morton or Thrash. It's just frustrating to know that a guy has so much talent, but didn't really get many opportunities to prove himself last year. His wrist injury held him back a bit, but from what I've heard, he was a victim of front office politics as much as anything else. Apparently, McCullough was Cerrato's baby, and after Cerrato/Snyder overruled Spurrier on Wuerffel, Spurrier decided he'd just sit McCullough and see what Cerrato thought of that.
