Saints | Stallworth a Workaholic in Offseason - from www.KFFL.com

John McClain, of the Houston Chronicle, reports New Orleans Saints WR Donte Stallworth has shown a strong work ethic this offseason in order to prepare for the upcoming season. Stallworth has changed his diet, reduced his body fat to less than 8 percent, has gotten stronger and has learned new stretching techniques to help him avoid the leg injuries that have plagued him in his brief NFL career. "I told him the other day I was proud of him," coach Jim Haslett said. "He's starting to take care of his body and learning what it takes to be a pro. If he keeps it up, he's going to have a big year."

Two things I like about this article. Obviously I like that Donte is working so hard. I'm gunning for him in my fantasy football league around the second/third round. The second is Haslett's fatherly accolades to his player. I don't have a good idea of what the players think of Haslett but as Jesus said, a kind word turneth away wrath.
That sounds like a good leader to me.
