Coming into the DSFL draft with a reputation as a playmaker - as well as a mouth and quite a sizeable ego - Tayshawn Crunk had a lot to live up to when he was selected 13th overall by London. Over the first two games, though, his production of only five tackles combined with some questionable body language was not good enough for his coaches.
Tayshawn Crunk played very limited snaps in Week 3. Benched. Welcome to the league.
Though he wasn't happy about this, Crunk had seen this too many times before. However he felt, nobody gets a starting job by complaining, so he didn't. When he wasn't on the field (which was most of the game) he was on the sidelines, shouting encouragement and clapping, even as his team was shut out and lost the game.
In Week 4, he showed up to play determined never to ride the bench again. Five tackles and a sack later, coaches were convinced that not only had they got their message across, but it had been received in the right way. In Weeks 5 through 7, Crunk notched 14 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 4 pass deflections and two interceptions.
All in all, Crunk passed the first test of becoming a professional football player. He understands the gap from college, and shows up every day ready to give it his all. He's getting stronger, faster and smarter on the field every single week -- you better hope your quarterback takes notice.
