ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins second-round draft pick Fred Davis did not show up for minicamp practice Sunday, having overslept on just his third day in the NFL.

The team sent security officials to track down the tight end after he failed to arrive as scheduled from a local hotel, where the rookies were housed during the three-day minicamp.

"Everybody was scouring," coach Jim Zorn said after the practice. "Nobody heard from him, so there was one of two scenarios: either there was some real trouble and we needed to find him, or he screwed up. I haven't even got to talk to him yet. I know he has been found. I believe it is more in the 'I screwed up' category."

Davis eventually arrived at Redskins Park and met with Zorn in his office.

"He just had a setback," the coach said. "Hopefully everybody will learn from the lesson that he is having to learn right now about what it is going to take to get to a place on time, to be responsible."

Davis was the 48th overall pick out of Southern California in last weekend's draft.

He better be VERY humble about this and admit he was wrong.

Moron. Another Punk who just doesn't know how good he's got it. Everything handed to him and his Kissed all the way through college. I wish the Jets picked him.......... >:D

Everyone to the top of Mount Molehill!

He's a rookie who overslept.  This does not indicate a wanton disregard for the rule of law, nor does it indicate a contempt for authority.

He overslept.  Big deal.

Well said Spider Dan.  As long as he doesn't make a habit of this, it's not a big deal.

I agree with Dan.  I've overslept before.  Alarms sometimes don't work...people forget....things happen.

It could be an isolated incident, let's not tar and feather the guy just yet.
