Not all of them. I think Portis has really shown himself to be a vocal leader on this team. He readily admits to having an off year last year (even though that "off year" produced the second most yards in franchise history), and expects to do much better. He is defending his teammates, while still carrying the company banner.

Portis is more than a great back - I expect him to be a league-wide superstar in the coming years.

How would we all feel about Portis if the Redskins were the ones who drafted him and he demanded a new deal or a trade with years left on his rookie contract? If Portis is a great leader why can't he convince his fellow "U" boy Taylor to at least return Gibbs phone calls?
