Good story, I'm glad we took a chance on him. He was always a high character person. A team leader, and very well liked even during his drinking days at Ohio State. Major props to him for turning his life around. He's come a long way.

Note to Harbaugh. Make sure to put Boone in a room that locks from the outside during Super Bowl week. Don't need a Barry Simms incident.

Sounds like a guy that can't be around alcohol, hope his teammates realize this and help him stay sober.
