Leinart Being Mentored By Brady
Matt Leinart worked out a few times with Tom Brady a few times during this offseason. The location made sense because Brady has a home near the campus, and Norm Chow, the former offensive coordinator at USC, is now an assistant at UCLA.
"I figured if I'm running with him (Brady), he can do whatever," Leinart said, laughing. "It was funny, we were out there one day, just me and him, and their whole team comes out. They were in off-season conditioning.
"I almost wanted to wear my 'SC jacket, but that would have been real disrespectful."
Brady worked with Leinart on his footwork, release and other fundamentals.
Boldin Chooses Condon As New Agent
Cardinals general manager Rod Graves confirmed on Monday that receiver Anquan Boldin has hired Tom Condon as his new agent.
"I look forward to working with him on this deal whenever we can get the opportunity to concentrate on it," Graves said of Condon.
Boldin, who has long been looking for a new deal in Arizona, recently fired agent Drew Rosenhaus. Graves wasn't sure whether the switch would make it easier for the two sides to agree on something.
"I don't know, we'll see," Graves said. "I look forward to talking with him. We've had a history of being able to get deals done with Tom Condon."
