Kellen Winslow Shows Cajones

September 19th, 2010
If the NFL were the NHL, and the three stars were handed out, Joe would have to give Kellen Winslow the No. 1 star.
Let’s not talk about his two sick catches in the first half that both helped the Bucs rack up points and jump on top of the Panthers. Instead, let’s forcus on the guy’s will.
Dude has had so many operations on his right knee, Joe has lost count. He couldn’t participate in OTAs. He was limited in training camp. He barely showed up in preseason games.
This week, he was doubtful. He was a kickoff decision whether he would even dress for the game. Instead, he not only dressed, he not only started, he was a freaking stud!
“He was a clutch guy. He was money when it counted,” Bucs coach Raheem Morris said on the Bucs radio network after the game. “He played when he could. I appreciate what he did today.clutch guy.money when it coutned. played when he can. i appreciate what he did today. Those guys got on the football field gave us a chance to win.”
Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman was equally impressed with K2.
“Kellen Winslow was huge today and a big queston mark coming into today,” Freeman said on the Bucs radio network after the game. “But that is Kellen. He struggles during the week but he is always out there on Sunday.”
Much to the Carolina Panthers’ chagrin of course.

    Did you write down what Raheem said as fast as he said it. He was wound up. I almost had to put his press conferance in slow motion.

    K2 is showing himself to be a team player regardless of what others have said about him. You have to give anyone credit when they are making a ton of money with their body to still lay it on the line for their team even when they have a legitimate issue that would keep a lot of guys off the field. I have had a torn ACL and a torn maniscus so I can sympathize with knee pain.
