The End of the Line for a UCLA Great?
Jonathan Ogden is arguably the greatest NFL player to come out of America's greatest University, UCLA. However, according to one report, there is a possibility that this could be his final season. In response to a question about whether or not he will return for the 2008 season here is what Mr. Ogden had to say:
"It's pretty much the same: How healthy do I feel; is the love and passion still there to be able to do it for a full season; what I think about where the team is headed. I'll just kind of examine those things . . . [r]ight now I just need a little time . . . [a]fter a year like this, people who have played one year don't want to come back. So you want to get away from it before you figure anything out."
Given the expectations that the Ravens had coming into this season (i.e. after going 13-3 in 2006) versus the frustrations they have suffered, it would be surprising if a few of Mr. Ogden's teammates didn't feel the same way right now.
