Yes, he pointed out that’s why Sapp dropped in the draft, that and the hashish.

PFW on DeSean Jackson 2008: “Immature. Not a great worker. Difficult to manage. Talks to much and thinks he is better than he is.”

Without a doubt. I’m just wondering how much of a player’s character can be discerned from their immediate interactions during the Combine.

first impressions are a very important thing. first impressions at a place where you observe someone interacting with their peers and colleagues can be as telling and at times, generate a better impression than if you were face to face.

Here’s PFW on Manningham in 08: “will talk too much. Can grate on a coach … Moody and immature.”

PFW On Claussen: Has a sense of entitlement, having attended private schools, worked with private QB coaches and being sheltered by his fam

Sounds like he’s just bitter his name is “Nolan Nawrocki”

Sounds more like Cam slept with Nawroki’s daughter (or wife??).

Bout the PFW thing: They have been writing summaries like Cam Newton’s for years.

Nawrocki is slimy garbage industry consultant from one of my favorite Law and Order CI episodes. This guy Nolan sounds just like him. V4L if you’re reading this, back me up.

It’s fair to say that a few days of good behavior back in 05 didn’t mean that Pacman Jones was a model citizen.
