Quote of the Day
“I like the room. It’s a very diverse group. You’ve got some big guys, you’ve got some smaller guys, you’ve got some really quick guys, and they’re all working on the power side of it. But I like the group. There’s some playmakers in the group. We’re still building, but I like the competitiveness of the group.” – RB coach Cornell Ford on his backs
