Apparently Laron has a history of being unavailable for voluntary activities. That makes one question his sense of team. As much as we love the individual achievements football is still a team sport and it is hard to be an elite level player if your not first a leader on your team. You can't be a leader on the team if you are unavailable. Someone also posted that he is not happy playing free safety but would rather play strong safety. Well again, given this isn't his natural position, for the sake of team and self maybe he ought to be at OTA's. I don't think Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu care where you put them on the field, they are going to lead, they are going to make plays. That is who they are. They will make things happen. I can't agree that this doesn't matter. When a person avoids their coaches avoids any responsibility that is not forced or coerced then that says something and it will probably say it on a Sunday afternoon.
We forget how young some of these kids actually are. Maybe he will grow up before his obvious talent is gone or maybe he isn't shooting for Hall of Fame status, and is content with Prima Donna instead.
