So former Cal Wide Receiver stud Robert Jordan signed a free agent contract with the San Francisco 49ers on April 28, 2008. As I'm waiting anxiously to find out if he'll make the final roster, coming some time before regular season begins, I can't help but remember the times I watched him at Cal... 
With Jordan, Hawkins, and Jackson together, they seemed the offensive powerhouse for Cal. And maybe Jordan didn't get much spotlight last season. I mean, it was the season where 'the 1 to watch' wasn't him. Being on the same team, with the same position as the Heisman candidate, can make it hard for you to shine.
And you know what, it's all good. It's tough luck, and maybe he's not as skilled as Desean Jackson, but I have complete faith that Jordan will surpass expectations of his game.
I think there's a similarity between Jordan and his cousin, Marshawn Lynch. They don't like the spotlight. They're all about Family First. They are team players. They are legit. They're taller than 6 ft and weigh more than 190 lbs unlike some kind of brash, cocky new Philadelphia Eagle that I know... 
Not that I'm trying to instigate or anything, I'm just saying some players have skill and some players don't have an attitude problem. Oh, and some players won't get destroyed by a blindsided hit from Ray Lewis because, you know, they have the body to take it. Unfortunetly, other players (cough, the 1 to watch, cough) can only hope to be a poor man's Santana Moss.
But some players, like Robert Jordan, they're just hidden talents, diamond in the roughs if you will. And they are the ones who are going to lead their team to victory!
