Warrick Dunn: My Generation Had Respect

Mike Freeman of CBS Sports has a great column about one of the classiest players in the NFL, Buccaneers running back Warrick Dunn. It's a good look at a guy who had a rough life as a young man, built himself up into a great success story, and is now trying to give back.

But there's one particularly noteworthy quote from Dunn that's worth pointing out:
"It's not the same," he said. "When I came in, my generation was different. We respected the guys who came before us. I learned about the guys who paved the way. Now you have a lot of young guys who don't care about the past. They couldn't name some of the past great players. They (couldn't) care less."

Re: Warrick Dunn: My Generation Had Respect

When you're a runningback and saying things like "these kids today" you know father time has called your number.

Re: Warrick Dunn: My Generation Had Respect

Dunn used to be one of my favorite players during his first stint with the team - now, I'm not sure if he'll have what it takes to contribute this coming season....
