DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - Miami Dolphins rookie Manuel Wright apparently is having a difficult time adjusting to the NFL, and was in tears Tuesday.

The 6-foot-6, 290-pound defensive tackle from Southern California - the only pick in this month's supplemental draft - broke down during an on-field workout session.

Dolphins coach Nick Saban appeared to be shouting, or at least talking very sternly, to Wright, who was later seen walking off the field, escorted by a member of the team's staff, and lifting the front of his shirt to wipe away tears.

Exactly what Saban said that upset Wright was unclear. Team policy does not allow reporters access to players following a midday interview period.

"As you well know, young players need to develop the kind of mental toughness and attitude that they need to be professionals," Saban said. "So we are trying to help him with that, too, which may be why we need to get on him a little at times."

Wright was eligible for the supplemental draft because he is three years out of high school. As a sophomore at USC last season, he had 23 tackles, including six for losses, and recovered two fumbles.

Saban said the rookie has struggled a bit so far with muscle soreness and other issues, and believes Wright is "probably not in as good of shape as he needs to be in."

"I got on him about what we wanted him to try to do at least today, to try and work himself through it, and he responded well to it," Saban said.

I know what Nick told him.

"You puss, if LSU had played your panty waste team in 2003 for the NC we would have beat your ass like a rented mule. Now shut TFU and kiss my shoe again beeyotch! I own your ass now"

they stop acting like Oprah, you must not have played the game....and if you did, you must have set on the pine. Many times when football players put it all on the line and then fail (or even win) the tears flow....from joy, sorrow or just the pain of giving it all. I never cussed you but you had to me.....I speak from one who been there seen that.....not as some want to be

So are you saying you were a bench warmer?   and that you cried about it??  I played the game....and did not sit on the pine, and I never cried at a game and never would.  NEVER....EVER!!

[DOGALUM]

EVER!!

Many times when football players put it all on the line and then fail, (or even win) the tears flow, from joy, sorrow or just the pain of giving it all. I never CURSED you but you had to CURSE me. I speak AS one who HAS been there AND seen that, not as some wanNA be.
