ARI WR Boldin Steps Back from Brink, Will Report to Camp
According to the Arizona Republic’s Kent Somers, WR Anquan Boldin and team mate Darnell Dockett will report to training camp on time despite indications otherwise earlier this spring.
“Anquan is not the type of guy to hold out,” said Drew Rosenhaus, who represents both players. “He’s a very principled guy. It’s just not in his makeup.”
Given the current situation at QB, with Matt Leinart working back up to speed after missing most of last season, the news that Boldin plans to participate in a full slate of practices/team meetings bodes well for his 2008 prospects. The Cardinals hope that Leinart is ready for a “breakout” season in his 3rd season in the league, and he appears focused on making his mark in the NFL this year. In late June, Leinart stated: . “It is time for me to step up and really time for me to go out there and play. I have to prove myself.”
Leinart’s time is now - if he is ready to join the club of elite NFL QBs this year, Boldin and company could surpass even the current high expectations that many have for the Cardinals’ WR stable. Boldin has enhanced his status as a premier fantasy talent with his decision to report to training camp with his team mates.
