There’s a former National Football League Most Valuable Player for hire. And I think it’s only a matter of time before he receives a phone call offering him a job. Just two seasons after he was the NFL’s MVP, running back Shaun Alexander may be out of work on this Kickoff Weekend, but he’s ready, willing and able to fill a roster spot as soon as the opportunity presents itself:
“Man, I’m healthy and excited to play. And I think this year can be a big year for me if I get the opportunity. I can still play the game. I think I can help a team get to the Super Bowl.”
Two months ago, X-rays showed that the cracked bone in Shaun’s left foot (the one that ruined his 2006 season and slowed him in 2007) is finally fully healed. And the broken left wrist he had to begin last season is fine, too. He’s willing to play for the veteran minimum with no guarantees. So what gives? I guess teams are not convinced of his ability to fulfill this comeback, but I disagree. It’ll probably take an injury to open the door for Shaun’s return, but he’ll be back. Sooner than later, I’m guessing.
