    The vets won't like this at all. Every football team from high school to the pros does this. Sure it can go too far and end in someone getting hurt, but usually its all in good fun. Earn your strips rookie, the vets will respect you for it. Now he's gonna get it.

    JC - you are right the vets won't like it! and i understand the situation as a tradition in the nfl. I will say that hazing tends to go to far sometimes and if they get him back good and what happens if it causes an injury? They would only be hurting themselves. In this situation I side with dez because he seems like he is really focused on playing football and that is why he is there! Teams should be focused on playing football not hazing. Good for Dez!

    Ill also say this, the last thing any team needs is a divided locker room before the seasons starts because a rookie won't carry someone elses pads! As much as hazing has been a tradition, it can cause issues for teams when it goes to far, and is simply not worth the risk!

    He should have just carried the pads. Now he'll get it 10X worse.

    Carrying pads is hazing? Dez is already on the road towards Prima donna status. Get over it. Initiation maybe, but not hazing. Similar but not the same.

    Why are people mentioning injries as if anyone ever gets hurt in NFL 'hazing'.
    Its just friendly brotherly type bullying.

    The rule we had in high school was that the sophomores fill the water jugs and carry them to our practice field. Nothing else. We had a drill called "bull in the ring". Anytime something had to be resolved among players, coach set up the "bull in the ring" drill. I'd like to see Dez take on the ring.

    Dez to Roy Williams: "Who's a starter? Yeah, that's what I thought. You carry my pads *****."
