Q. and A. With N.F.L. Talent Evaluator Russ Lande

Posted Jan 27, 2011
There was a kid in this morning’s practice, Kendric Burney. He was covering a guy; he didn’t do it exactly right. But when the coach pulled him over, he took the coaching. Sometimes you watch other guys and their eyes are rolling, they don’t listen, or they walk away. Burney was mentally present and actually repeated back to the coach what was expected of him.
