Mike Furrey has taken a Kurt Warner-like route to the NFL. From Northern Iowa to stints in Arena Football and the XFL, and he finally emerges as a starting NFL receiver in Detroit. This is a great story for those interested in a real underdog. I for one would prefer to see Mike Furrey make it big than Charles Rogers. This guy has paid his dues big time. He's the kinda guy who's jersey number you'd allow your kid to wear. http://www.mlive.com/lions/stories/index.s...4930.xml&coll=1 shhhhhhhhh ... a white slot receiver ... you just don't see that everyday in the Nfl.
If I recall, Furrey started @ WR then switched to DB to help the lambs who were/are deficient in that position. So, he is back @ WR and with Martz. Best wishes... to Furrey. A Lions player named Furrey - that is too damn funny. The impression I get from the article is today's USA Today is; the Detroit's WR corps is a work in progress.

Sounds like he's pretty much a lock to start. He's a football player with speed, not a track guy trying to play football.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and furrey, Signifying nothing.
