ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Commanders second-round draft pick Fred Davis did not show up for minicamp practice Sunday, prompting the team to send security officials to find the tight end.

"Everybody was scouring," coach Jim Zorn said after practice. "Nobody heard from him, so there was one of two scenarios. Either there was some real trouble and we needed to find him, or he screwed up. I haven't even got to talk to him yet. I know he has been found. I believe it is more in the 'I screwed up' category."

The team was expected to give more details on Davis' absence later Sunday.

Davis was the 48th overall pick out of Southern California in last weekend's draft. He and the other rookies were staying in a local hotel during the three-day minicamp that ended Sunday.

Snyder really seems to have everything firing on all cylinders these days doesn't he.

 

[Chief]

There is some speculation in a Washington Post blog that he was out late and overslept.

Look at this gem from one of the Commander faithful ........


i'm sure fred's agent probably told him to pull a stunt like this. this is probalby the first step in negotiating a shorter contract or something. i mean, if i were the #1 tight end in the draft and i was drafted by a team with a pro-bowl tight end, i wouldnt be very happy either.

Some people are beyond ignorant. That fan who said that fits that description.

Are Commanders fans really this clueless?

He probably got a good look at what passes for night life here in the DC area and said "I'm out of here."

If I were a mod on that board I would ban him.

I wouldn't show up either if I was drafted by the Commanders. That of course, after I have come out of shock when a team, who I thought would trade all their draft picks for Rashied Davis or Floyd Womack ended up keeping one to select me.

 

[DeepBleu]

what if it is something more serious and deadly? draft picks don't turn up missing in rookie orientation like this.

Because their coach basically dismissed that.

Per the article he was found and "he screwed up." I don't know if that means he just forgot or he did something he shouldn't a la Stanley Wilson.

 

[notherbob]

Sounds like this guy has higher priorities than football. Wonder if he'll show up for the mandatory NFL orientation for rookies?

 

[bbgun]

Hos, will you (or any mod) shoot me an email at the Yahoo address associated with my account? I can't reply to your personal PMs because there's no reply button/option. Something's screwed up.

They do if they got so drunk the night before they can't raise their head out of bed.

 

[Cowboys22]

He probably had enough of Campbell's errant passes.

 

[Sarge]

Wait 'til this genius gets a wallet full of cash............

 

[AbeBeta]

Dmitruis Underwood did something similar...

Some of these USC guys really like to party.
