Coach Treadwell about Jamire Westbrook: "With a compact runner like Jamire, you can understand why Kings just methodically marched down the field. He can do three yards and a cloud of dust, or he can catch a crease and go 60 yards. Jamire is a complete package. We are tremendously excited to have a player from our area who is an outstanding back and has mental toughness."
