There is nothing I have seen to make me question Hilton’s work ethic

Since I posted this I have heard at least a half dozen other local Colts analysts (Keefer, Holder, Chappel, etc.) share their thoughts on the first few days of camp. They have all said that they came away positively impressed with what they saw from Deion Cain (sp??). Not sure if it's just that expectations were low since he was a 6th??? rounder but they are saying things like: he catches everything thrown his way, he flashes, he handles tight coverage very well, he's making big chunk plays.........All the same caveats.....early days yet....let's see where he is in September.....blah, blah, blah. Still, it's nice to have something to look forward to for a change. Anybody else ready for some football?? Go Colts!!!!

I hope this isn't the case. But remember when Duron Carter was lighting it up in camp a few years ago and did absolutely nothing in the actual games?

That probably had more to do with what was between his ears than his physical ability.

It is camp. Remember how everyone was saying how good Whalen was? Dude was trash. People covering camp overreact. Every year

Most draft boards had Cain as a Day 2 talent, getting him in the 6th was very lucky, and I saw several articles that listed him as a "sleeper" who could break out. Hopefully he's tapping into the immense potential people saw in him prior to the draft.

If he can play, I don't care if he's purple but I thought Deon was black......my bad....I haven't spent much time learning this new roster yet.......I just hope he continues to impress on the field when the lights are bright and it matters.

Deon Cain is black. I think the person you quoted was just complaining about Whalen as an example of how people overdo it in their camp hype.
