The left arm of quarterback Chris Simms is a hot topic in training camp, but the rookie's lower left leg is creating an even bigger buzz. So, Chris, what's with the tattoo?
"It's a W," he said.
A rather large one, at that.
Of course, there's a story behind it.
The 4-inch-high letter just above Simms' ankle is surrounded by the initials of four University of Texas teammates. Simms and the others were among the first freshmen to report in 1999 and became fast friends. They called themselves The Wood, a reference to the movie The Wood that came out that year about close-knit friends. Simms' group included receivers Montrell Flowers and Kyle Shanahan, son of Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, tight end Bo Sciafe and cornerback Rodrick Babers, who was drafted by the Giants.
