Chirpy Samuel helps enliven Eagles' practices | Philadelphia Inquirer | 06/05/2009
If Brian Dawkins was Wolverine, Asante Samuel has become the Eagles' Joker. The all-pro cornerback has been the most vocal player during this spring's minicamps, and even though he and his coach say it's nothing new, it's certainly more conspicuous now that Dawkins has taken his superhero act to Denver.

Lorenzo Booker

I agree about him having delusions of adequacy….If he was the primary #2, why would McCoy be behind westbrook in the depth chart as a rookie? I dont see any of the other promising rookies that high on the depth chart (even if we expect them to be later in the season).
