Warriors in the Pros: Colt, Elam

Colt Brennan has a hilarious post up on Chris Cooley's blog detailing the misery of having a locker between Cooley and Jason Taylor.

This post is a lot like that TV show on MTV. The one where they say, “You think you know…but you have no idea” and in this case, you have no idea. My name is Colt Brennan. I'm a 6th round rookie QB, grew up in So Cal, played college ball in Hawaii, so I’d say I am a pretty laid back kind of guy. I wonder if they took that into consideration when they decided to issue lockers? Considering they saw fit to put me between Chris Cooley and Jason Taylor. At first you may think, "what an awesome experience," I get to be between two pro bowlers, potential hall of famers, dancers. Every day. For the next 5 months. What dream right? More like what a nightmare.

Thanks to LizKauai for the heads up. Picture taken from Cooley's blog.

Colt also participated in the Redskins 4th & Life Foundation Senior Football Forum, "an annual event that gives high school seniors who play football the opportunity to hear straight talk from respected NFL players." The post has a slideshow which includes a few pics of Colt.

And via OnlineAthens.com, the AP profiles Falcons kicker Jason Elam.

Jason Elam never misses a chance to watch Tiger Woods.

Not so much for the booming drives, or the long putts he always seems to make. Elam focuses on that look in Woods' eyes, the steadiness in his hands when he lines up a shot that could win the tournament - or lose it.

"I love his mental game," Elam said. "I just watch how focused he is, how driven he is, how he just grinds it out for three-and-a-half, four hours. When I'm watching a golf match, there's a clear difference between him and the others. It's just that mental focus."

Elam has put those lessons to good use in his job as an NFL kicker.
