Will David Boston become a dominant receiver again?

The signs are encouraging. When Boston showed up in Miami, receivers coach Jerry Sullivan demanded two things of him: 1) He wanted Boston to lose weight, and 2) he wanted him to participate in the team's offseason conditioning program. Boston did both, coming around after the team's first minicamp when Sullivan showed him tapes of his 2001 season.
"He didn't say much," said Sullivan. "He just looked. I think he saw a different guy than what he imagined he was at the time. And I think he was impressed with who that guy was."
He had company. Boston was a Pro Bowl receiver in 2001 for the Cardinals, hauling down 98 passes for 1,598 yards and setting a team record with nine 100-yard games. Sullivan, who coached him there, thinks Boston can regain that form. More important, he thinks Boston believes he can, too.
"He's in the best running shape since he's been in the league," said Sullivan. "My expectations for him are to become better than he was before. He's more mature now, so hopefully he sees things in a little different light."
