watching inside NFL..he seems like a great guy. This isnt another thread about comparsion..this has notihng to do how good he is on the field
If u havent heard, a high school friend of Addai was paralyzed neck down in a rival HS game..hes been in a wheel chair and everything. Addai has been with his paralyzed friend,LaJuan Moore, a lot! Hes help financially to the Moore family and has brought LaJuan to some games to watch him play.
Addai has been there for his friend who had an unfortunate accident in highschool and still hangs out with him, supports him, helps him in many ways. Great guy. Its a very nice story kind of like Bruschi helping that Andrew kid expect LaJuan is Joe's age and is a true friend.

Saw that spot he looks to very impressive guy. Nice to see a guy like this as opposed to the Ron Mexico type of guys.

Addai looks to have been a good draft pick for the Colts. We all know they wanted Maronney, but Addai seems to have fit in nicely in their offensive scheme and on top of that he appears to be a good team player. With good character.
Addai is very classy, will be a very good to great running back in the NFL. As I said several times before, he reminds me of a bigger Priest Holmes, definately has a nose for the end zone. That clip about him and his paralyzed friend brought a tear to my eye, very touching. Bruschi's clip with that kid also brought a tear to my eye, despite the T.O's and Vick's (both of them) of the world, most of the NFL players are very classy. Saw a clip about Donnie Edwards at X-Mas time, also tear inducing, a very classy guy, would love to see him as a Patriot.
actually, the colts never were interested in maroney. they weren't sure he is up to the physicality of the nfl.
That's just too funny. And probably false, why did Manning tell Brady that the Pats stole the Colts running back in the draft ? Addai is a special person, and a special back, but he certainly has had it easier in Indy than Maroney does in NE. Teams throw 8 players in the box to stop our run, due to the fact that we (supposedly) have a poor passing game. Also, whenever Maroney is in, every team in the NFL knows he's in there to run it, so they can bring their safeties up. Addai usually face 6 in the box due to teams fear of the Colts passing game, and, the Colts just have a better O-line than the Pats. Not to take anything away from him, he'll be a great back, but to say the Colts never were interested in Maroney is hillarious, it wasn't a well kept secret about the Colts infatuation with Maroney.
if they were that interested than they would never have made any interest known. if they did make any known, it was a smokescreen. polian does this every year. just as everyone thought the colts were going to take ricky williams instead of e.j.

Puhleeeaseee.....Maroney was rated by everybody as the sencod best RB in the draft. And that's where he was drafted. I know you're a Colts fan, but do some research. Also, watch how defenses play your beloved Colts, and how your offensive line holds on every play (and gets away with it 95% of the time), there have been some huge holes for Addai to gallop through. Add to that the fact that defenses always play the pass first against the Colts, and always play the Pats run first. Different offense, different backs, similar results. Addai is a fantastic back, and I'm very impressed that he has seemed to have gotten better every game, and worried that Maroney has seemed to go backwards, but I attribute that to Maroney's ripped cartillage in his rib area, and the Pats poor run blocking the last 2 weeks (though they did play a fantastic defense last week).
