Good lord Aaron Wilson, ever think maybe you might mention where he went to college? Maybe, just maybe that's something people might want to know about a rookie signing?
Rashad Johnson is a very hard worker, and he's a cerebral playmaker. Probably the smartest safety in college football during his time at Bama. Not to mention he's a leader.
So good for him. I wish the Chiefs had drafted him.
Haha props to AW that was cool. Who'd have thunk it, a site that actually cares what it's fans have to say. However, Florio is and remains a sellout.
Awesome! Rashad was a great safty, showed natural abilities and a great awareness of the ball when he Played for Alabama. He should be a great asset to the Cardinals a lot like Demico Ryans is to the Texans.
