Excellent story. As a sports fan, I love the underdog thing. Undrafted free agent comes good etc. I'm from australia & our NFL coverage is very limited. Especially stories about a players past (except of course if they go from "unknown" to "star" - then we get it all.) So, to get the "heads up" about a player that may go from "unknown" to "starter" and maybe to "star" BEFORE it happens is terrific. I'm a skins fan and it's important for me to know about our opponents . As you know, skins play jag's this year - so now I will be watching out for Mr Wimbush. It will also be fun for me to watch his progress throughout the year - now that I know a little more about him
