• Lions Quarterback Daunte Culpepper said his goal is to win the NFC North. Culpepper still looks excellent physically. He said he has been around 260 pounds — more than 30 pounds less than he weighed last year — and is 100% going into training camp for the first time since 2004, when he had the best year of his career and put up huge numbers for Minnesota.
• Titans WR Kenny Britt has been hampered by a hamstring injury. After only a handful of minicamp workouts, he has been unable to showcase his skills. “I don’t have a feel for this guy,” offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger said. “He hasn’t played more than five minutes since he’s gotten here.” – “I hope he’s back there watching things and staying into it mentally.”
• Bengals RB Cedrick Benson is preparing himself for the physical grind. ”No doubt, I’m ready to carry this team on my back,” Benson said. “I’m due, hungry for it, miss it, and excited. It’s good to be on a team that wants you. It’s a great opportunity for me and I am definitely going to seize every moment. I plan to take full advantage of those opportunities and see where it takes us. I’m about whatever it takes to get the job done. I think I am in the best situation that I can be in and it has to happen for me here.”
• Cowboys WR Roy Williams refuted highly respected NFL scribe Peter King’s report that the coachable wide receiver was never on a consistent weight program until this off-season. “That’s trying to find something to make something negative out of me once again,” said Williams, who has been hit by a barrage of criticism since being traded from Detroit to Dallas. “I started lifting weights in the seventh grade.” Williams, a 6-3, 220-pound physical specimen, said he took lifting seriously throughout his high school career at Odessa Permian. He added that he continued to work hard in the weight room at Texas under the guidance of Jeff “Mad Dog” Madden, one of the country’s most famous strength coaches.
