I wonder if any veterans have taken him under their wing? Antwan? Or is he a cocky kid who thinks he's got it figured out?

yeah i was a bit disappointed that both thomas and kelly failed their physicals when they came into camp. first time i heard and was surprised to find out that most rookie wide receivers are not in good shape when they come into camp. that being said, gave zorn a chance to establish his stance on players not in shape: if you are not in shape you have not earned the right to take the field with guys who have put in the work. period.

i have grown increasingly happy with our 2nd round picks and will look forward to seeing who is going to emerge as key player for us in a few years. especially at 5 yrs 10 mil price tag.

also nice to read davis is the last man to leave the practice field putting in extra work in the red zone. i was alil worried he might be another USC player who doesnt have the understanding of the hard work required to excel at the nfl level b/c of the easy success USC enjoys.

im ready for some football! go skins!
