Portis is more than a great back - I expect him to be a league-wide superstar in the coming years.

How would we all feel about Portis if the Redskins were the ones who drafted him and he demanded a new deal or a trade with years left on his rookie contract? If Portis is a great leader why can't he convince his fellow "U" boy Taylor to at least return Gibbs phone calls?
