April 16, 2003) -- A prospective NFL player couldn't assemble a stronger résumé than one Washington State cornerback Marcus Trufant has presented to the league.

He had a great performance in the Senior Bowl. He had a great performance at the National Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

"I'm a great player," Trufant says.

But before you assume he is merely being boastful, consider this: Trufant's success is the product of a strong work ethic and the sheer joy of playing the game.

"I go out and play every down like it's my last and have fun with the game," he says. "I think that's what helps me in football. I'm out there having fun. Anytime you're having fun doing something, it always helps you a bit to try harder and maybe practice more and do the little things that help you."
