Dodging NFL wide receivers

I spent Monday afternoon at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington covering the Dallas Cowboys practice. The majority of it was uneventfull, however, towards the end of practice wide receiver Lyle Leong was running full speed towards the sidelines in an effort to catch a pass. He managed to get a few fingertips on the ball, but that was it. I had about a second, while on my knees, to dive backwards out of his way. A big thanks to Dallas Morning News staff photographer Michael Ainsworth for capturing a great photo of me on my ass. The following is the sequence of the play.
