Players will rally around June

NOVEMBER 19, 2007

Cato June's arrest for DUI early Monday should not be a distraction to the team's preparation for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins.

June will have some of his attention elsewhere as the legal wheels continue turning. But linebacker Derrick Brooks said players will rally around June, one of the most popular players in the Bucs' locker room.

""We have to (rally around him),'' Brooks said. ""This has been a team that has always backed each other through trial and it's not going to change now. Believe me, when we really get a grip on what happened, we're going to hug him, man, and obviously learn from his mistake. He's going to learn from his mistake and we're going to move on. It's nothing we're going to harp on.''
