At the NFL Rookie Symposium in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., Giants rookie RB Andre Brown told CBSSports.com in an exclusive interview that his new team likes him for his versatility, and that he’ll be utilized for it. “I’m a scatback compared to Brandon Jacobs, so that’s what they’re trying to get me into because I can catch the ball real well out of the backfield,” Brown said when asked about his role. “Otherwise they’re just telling me to come in there and work hard, and I’m just going in trying to do what I can do to help the Giants win another Super Bowl.”
I know they were so impressed with Bears linebacker Jamar Williams during organized team activities that he could push for significant playing time in 2009. Williams, who had five interceptions during OTAs, is capable of playing three positions. He’s the fourth linebacker in the rotation along with Urlacher, Lance Briggs and newcomer Pisa Tinoisamoa, ahead of Nick Roach and Hunter Hillenmeyer.
Titans running back LenDale White has lost considerable weight, and is determined to keep it off. “It’s not going to happen,” White said about putting weight back on. “I am not going to let it all go to waste, not the way I feel. My body feels good my knees, my ankles, everything feels great out there. And I am trying to keep it that same exact way. So whatever I have to do, I am going to maintain. And when I check into camp (my weight) won’t be nothing over 230.” White weighed in at 229 pounds last week, and admitted that he weighed a whopping 261 last October. “Right now, this is like a perfect situation for me. But I am going to keep pushing myself,” White said. “This is the time where I know what I want to do. We are five weeks away from where I want to be, from what I have been looking forward to, and I’m not going to blow it. I have been playing football all my life so I know how to get ready for camp. I’ll be ready to roll.”
