Rookie oversleeps, misses first practice

Found July 27, 2012 on Pro Football Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Trumaine Johnson
TEAMS: St. Louis Rams

From Pro Football Zone:

St. Louis Rams rookie cornerback Trumaine Johnson missed his first training camp practice after missing his flight on Wednesday because he overslept. 

“I set my alarm clock,” Johnson said after his day of practice on Thursday, per the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “I didn’t hear it. I missed my flight. I messed up.”

Oversleeping and missing practice isn’t unheard of when it comes to NFL rookies.  I’m sure Johnson will do what he can to ensure he never misses another practice.

Steven Jackson or Trent Richardson

We all know what S Jack can bring to the table. Seven years with at least a 1,000 yards and 5 touchdowns. Not to mention his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. How long can this production last? His bruiser mentality makes him questionable weekly leaving owners perplexed in regards to touches and playtime. Trent Richardson is the future.
