    I thought I would share this pretty good article I found Devon Bess.
    http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_y...one_bess_miami_dolphins_mentor_program_092911

    Bess’ biography isn’t unique by NFL standards. He grew up in a single-parent home with his mother in Oakland, Calif., while his dad got caught up on the streets. He was surrounded by crime, even seeing his uncle get shot in front of his home when Bess was 10 years old. He found a future in sports, eventually getting a scholarship offer from Oregon State after working hard to get his grades in order during his final year at Skyline High.

    Solid cat there. Always will be a Bess fan. Love those type of players, which is why I'm heavily rooting for Gates also. That story is great. Gotta start hittin him deep like Pitt hit Wallace his rookie year. Build the kids confidence to play at this level.

    If we clean house, I hope Bess stays. God knows the Pats will snatch him up.
