Wow... Another kid who will be really easy to root extra hard for.

Vontae Diggs Was Once Homeless And Living In Car, But UConn LB Got Support He Needed

>>"He's got a ton of personality," defensive coordinator Anthony Poindexter said. "He ain't lost for words. As a freshman, we had to use him because he was at a position of need. He's just a really good football player. He understands the game, understands why he's doing this, why he's doing that. He's got what we call high FBI — football intelligence. He's athletic, moves like a safety at times, and can do a lot of jobs."<<

"He ain't lost for words." Wow. I thought Poindexter was an educated athlete/coach.

Yikes, you had better hope that the grammar police don't return the favor.

"He still calls trash talk the most important part of his game."

As long as he can back it up and keep the "yellow flags" from flying, a LB w/ an edge and an attitude is okay by me.
