That is a great story, but it is really hard to see all this outstanding receiving talent getting playing time. I keep waiting to hear about someone changing position, possibly to DB.
PPL is a great Auburn man. I'd love to have some of his work ethic and dedication. I wish him great successs in all his future endeavors, whether or not related to football.
