Nice. I grew up Lanham, and lived close to Duval. Tough area, near Bowie. Growing up, our next door neighbors robbed us, drug deals on the block, friend saw someone shot in the parking lot, etc. But, honestly had fun growing up there. Good to see Lanham come out in TJ with the substance abuse charges last year, but I'm hoping he's cleaned up since then.

I always wonder why all these players sign with us when they know there's stiff competition for the job. Seems like if you're going to be the 4-6th safety, you would sign with another team to increase your chances. Same thing happened last two years with RB/WRs. Well, good for our front office, bad for the players. Good job Shanny for making this happen.
