My second Year was a 3 or 4
Written by Sidney Rice

On a scale of 1-10, I would rate my second year in the NFL a 3 or 4.
I’m kind of upset with the way things went. I injured my PCL the second game of the season and never really recovered. I feel like I let so many people down, including myself. My main focus for next season is to be on the field as much as possible.
It was the second year in a row I was the youngest person on the team. Hopefully this year we’ll get someone younger. I was kind of scared when I first came into the league, but everybody on the Vikings welcomed me with open arms so it wasn’t too bad. I had some great veterans around me, like Troy Williamson, who played with me at South Carolina. Last year Robert Ferguson became like my big brother.
So next season is going to be better, and I just want to blog here to let the fans know what’s going on, what I’m doing and what my teammates are doing to get to that next level.
I’ll spend the off-season working out with some other players in Davie, Florida, near Miami. I’ll also spend some time with my family and friends in Gaffney, South Carolina.
I don’t have a lot of hobbies but I’m going to start doing a little fishing. I really didn’t like it when I tried it, I’m too impatient. But here in Florida everyone goes fishing, all these boats and people fishing off the piers.
Hopefully it will grow on me.

i love the vikings and was sad to see you go down. i hope to see you help the vikings win another division title. don't look at fishing as something you have to do. use it to relax.
