Earlier this week, ESPN's Outside The Lines published an extensive feature on Chris Borland. We looked at several of the topics raised, including an interesting situation at the NFL's rookie orientation. Borland said that players were told to get themselves a fall guy so that if they got in trouble, they would have someone who could take the rap.

It turns out there is some video of the specific speech, and the ex-player is Cris Carter. The video above shows Carter and Warren Sapp up on stage providing the rookies with some words of wisdom, including the fall guy comment.
