Redskins rookie tight end Fred Davis has had his day in court -- or at least in the principal's office -- after inexplicably sleeping through a postdraft practice. Coach Jim Zorn, as quoted in the Washington Times:
"He definitely has got the message. He was very nervous because when you mess up like that, you don't really know what's going to happen to you. He handled it the way he should handle it. He was mortified sitting in my office. That's probably enough for a young guy to have to sit through, but his mom knew as well, and he had to go face her. And he's going to have come back here [for conditioning workouts in two weeks] and face our team as well. There's enough penalty in just the [humiliation] of that."
Every rookie must prove to his teammates and organization how important football is to him. Davis has more to prove than most.
