I always thought Portis was a gamer. He left it all on the field. One thing I will always remember at a Redskins game: Portis busted a big run and after the play, he gave each of his offensive linemen a head-butt. They never showed that on TV, but we all saw it. Also, his love and respect for Sean Taylor is admirable.
