On the final day of the Redskins' minicamp, Jim Zorn was confronted with the first challenge of his nascent head coaching career when former Southern Cal tight end Fred Davis, the team's second selection in last weekend's NFL draft, did not report to practice yesterday and had to be located by team security personnel. Davis overslept and was not involved in any legal trouble, said Zack Bolno, Washington's executive director of communications.

I don't know if there is any truth to the notion that USC offensive players don't take the pro game seriously but, Mr. Davis seemingly isn't doing anything to counteract that mindset.

Yet another non-story paraded out by the LAME FN employees...this site sucks the big one...

Great first impression!

How do you do that??? I mean...sleep in when you've been there. You should be excited and wake up before your alarm. No enthusiasm at all I suppose!

May 5, 2008  08:59 AM ET

everyone over sleeps every now and again BUT DAAANG!!! Dude, your dream has come true. YOU ARE NOW in the NFL. WAKE UP!!!

nice way to volunteer for more gassers. especially on a team that already has a solid starter at that position. going to be a long training camp for you rookie

Hey, there's a three hour time difference, give him a break. (LOL)

Big Deal...simple mistake, but at least it happened now and not
on game day.

May 5, 2008  09:33 AM ET

Yeah Jabril, jetlag is no joke.

May 5, 2008  09:35 AM ET

We've all over slept before in our lives. I can't say I've done it when I just started a new job...but it's only minicamp. Not a big deal yet

It's hard for guys from programs like USC to fight the temptation of Ashburn's famous TGIMcBennibees style nightlife

They send a swat team (team security personnel) if you don't show up?

May 5, 2008  10:39 AM ET

wow smooth kid this is the NFL you can't over sleep

May 5, 2008  10:40 AM ET

Not the type of sleeper I was hoping for.

May 5, 2008  10:45 AM ET

Dude, not getting off to a good start on the first day of work is not such a good thing. It is now time to be a grown-up. But, it will be OK, if it doesn't happen again. I am sure that your teammates will have a nice surprise for you the next time you are at work.

"Davis overslept and was not involved in any legal trouble, said Zack Bolno, Washington's executive director of communications."

I linke the part about not being involved in any legal trouble...this may become the staple for all NFL related headlines from now on!

Looks like the Deadskins hit the jackpot again in this years draft! Nice going..they are really a franchise in despair.
