KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Like the natural entertainer that he is, Priest Holmes made an entrance that was dramatic and exciting and sure to please the crowd.
The NFL's Offensive Player of the Year, a virtual public recluse since a mysterious hip injury ended his magnificent 2002 season, unexpectedly emerged Saturday from the east tunnel of Arrowhead Stadium.
Accompanied by public relations director Bob Moore, Holmes strolled slowly onto the lush green field and made his way to the 50-yard line, electrifying about 2,500 fans who'd just spent two hours watching the Kansas City Chiefs conduct a two-hour workout.
If there was a hitch in that award-winning get-along, it was hard to detect. Holmes walked deliberately toward his teammates. With almost each step, cheers and howls erupted as the crowd began to notice what was happening.
Was there a slight limp? Some observers thought maybe there was. Others said there was not.
