Clarence Moore and Mark Clayton tried to corral their fellow receiver Damien Linson, but the rookie was too quick. He easily got away, leaving his jersey behind and heading over to sign autographs for the fans alongside coach Billick. Trevor Pryce stalked the field continually shouting, "Get another one [player]! Tie his hands, bind his feet!" The fastest man on the team, Figurs, wasn't fast enough to elude Clayton or Moore and subsequently became the annual training camps hazing ritual's first victim.
