The Facts:
During a phone interview with ESPN's SportsCenter regarding the Donovan McNabb trade, running back Clinton Portis also talked about the addition of Larry Johnson and Willie Parker to the backfield. "I think L.J. and Willie are great backs," Portis said. "You know, they're proven backs in the NFL. I think it's gonna make the competition side of things exciting."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Portis went on to remind listeners he's been in loaded backfields in both college (with Willis McGahee and Frank Gore at Miami) and the pros (with Terrell Davis, Mike Anderson and Olandis Gary in Denver), so his current situation is nothing new. "Whoever gets the nod out of the three of us, we'll always know there's another guy pushing, there's another guy eager to get on the field," Portis said. "The competition's gonna bring a lot to this organization. ..." As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, it's a surprisingly positive attitude from Portis -- although the fact he'll be getting $6.5 million guaranteed this year regardless of his position on the depth chart -- probably helps.
