Yes, that's a look of disappointment on the very handsome face of Rod 2.0 crush object and all-around decent guy Will Demps. At the opening of training camp, the star safety of the New York Giants has been demoted to second unit.
"My track record speaks for itself," Demps said between practices. "It's real early yet, the second day."
In spring 2006, Demps signed a five-year, $15-million free-agent contract after four years with the Ravens. Last season was somewhat uneven—he was coming off knee surgery and performed better at the close of the season after some glaring mistakes. Many players were calling for his head and said he was "too pretty" to play football and more interested in his modeling career.
Despite his (hopefully temporary) new status on the depth chart, Will Demps kept his chin up and said he is a team player. "I'm not going to say anything against the guys who are there...We haven't played any games yet."

Well, of course anything that disturbs Giants players, fans, or anything up in the Rotten Apple simply delights those of us wearing Eagles' green. I suppose the young man is very pretty. We'll see if our Eagles' safeties, conerbacks, and defensive ends can do something about his prettiness this season--that is if he gets a chance to play.
Damn, I sound like an evil bitch.
