DAVIE — He sat in a corner of the Dolphins' locker room, a few steps from an exit that could quickly take him away from the attention and toward the showers.
Each of the past two seasons, that's the way wide receiver Marty Booker liked it.

"The first year was the toughest," said Booker, who played in his first game with his new team 15 days after the trade was finalized, "just being thrown into the fire."
It has been an adjustment ever since. Suddenly, however, the once-high-profile player of 2002 - the one who made the Pro Bowl as the Chicago Bears' No. 1 receiver - appears ready to emerge again. As a player.
And as a person

Great article. I was worried when we first traded for him if he was ever going to feel at home.

It had to have been tough, being the team captain, then getting traded without warning at the beginning of the regular season, after he put his blood, sweat, and tears into training camp for Chicago.

Good read, I like Booker. He doesn't get enough respect on this board.

Booker should get better looks this year with the added coverage that Chambers and Randy should get. And Peps can launch the ball so he should be able to get some really good looks.

.This is his final year of his contract so he has to impress.

Exactly.Those type of sideline passes often resulted in pick 6 s when our previous QBs whose surnames began with the letter F were throwing them.:D

He should definitely get the opportunity this year. I think he is a solid number 2 receiver and we are lucky to have him on the team.

Good article and find!!!! I have always felt for booker being told he was a fluke somewhat or that his best seasons were behind him. I hope he proves the haters wrong.
