ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The scouting report says he's a big-play threat, a competitive, well-prepared player with laser-like focus in the pursuit of a win. Oh, and he'll drop some well-placed smack on you.

"No question, no doubt," longtime friend and former teammate Brandon Stokley said with a laugh. "Probably everything he was in football he is in golf, but with more stories -- good stories, really good stories. But all of that focus you saw in football, I see that in his golf."
Said former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan: "He talks smack to everybody, especially if you act a little cocky or like you've got it all figured out.
