I've come to learn that Donte Whitner really wants to wear #20 and will get that number courtesy of Shaud Williams. No word yet on whether any money changed hands for Whitner to acquire the number, but I know that Lee Evans had to pay Mark Campbell for 83 back when he was a rookie. In any event Whitner when he takes the field for practice on Monday should be wearing #20 and Williams should be wearing #36.
Donte signing with a full week before the first preseason game should be enough time to get him up to speed in time to see some action against Carolina.
He told me on Sunday when everybody else has off he's going to watch every single practice that he's missed on film to digest what he's missed and how it applies to the field.
He also plans to beg the coaching staff for every extra rep he can get. This kid loves the game. They won't have to push him to catch up.
