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."
