When a player joins a new team, there is usually a period of somewhat awkward exploration. A feeling-out process. He has to ask where the meeting rooms are, where the cafeteria is, even what to wear and when. And that first day at practice? A guy can look completely lost. It can be ugly.

Maybe that’s because he has.
