FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) -Steve Breaston came out of college with pro scouts believing he was a kick and punt returner, at best.
There were questions about his ability as a receiver, and he fell to the fifth round of the 2007 draft. After 132 receptions for more than 1,700 yards the last two seasons, nobody is wondering about that anymore. Now Breaston comfortably steps into Anquan Boldin’s old role as No. 2 receiver for the Arizona Cardinals.
He says there are no butterflies. After all, he often filled in when Boldin was injured with 15 regular-season starts and four in the postseason the last two years.
Now he says he just has to prove he can do it over a 16-game season, and perhaps the playoffs after that.
