Ask an NFL rookie if he would like to hear the head coach call out his name in a team meeting, and he will probably hesitate to respond. There's potential for disaster there, or at least embarrassment, perhaps in the form of some less-than-ideal practice footage.
As anyone who watched the premiere of Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday night knows, undrafted rookie linebacker Riley Bullough got just that sort of surprise during the first week of camp. Fortunately for him, Head Coach Dirk Koetter was delivering a compliment, using Bullough as an example of the type of effort and enthusiasm he would like to see on the practice field.
