Quote:It's okay to be confident, but cocksure and dismissive can lead to a rude awakening.

If true, you're right. But i also think some of his 'negative' attributes have also been just as drummed up and hyped by the media as his good ones. I think it speaks volumes how highly all of his current and former teammates have spoken about him(Evans and Joekel come to mind). 

This particular quote by Evans stuck out to me

Quote:“He’s far from a prima donna,” Evans told USA TODAY. “He likes to come in and work and get the job done just like everyone else. I’d go to war with him. I’d take him over anybody. He’s a great player.”

Whatever people think he is on the field or the lockerroom, he's apparently one hell of a teammate with a good head on his shoulders.

 

 

That said, your entirely right Slap that there is a fine line between confidence and cockiness. Those two things are worlds apart. I truly hope its the former.
