excerpt:

"It's really a deja vu situation," Culpepper said. "There was a lot of speculation about me when I went to Minnesota [as a first-round draft pick out of Central Florida]. In 2000, after I was named the starter, everybody wanted to know what I was going to do. Now, there are a lot of questions. People want to know what I'm made of and what I'm going to do."
Culpepper was so determined to show the Dolphins how his three repaired knee ligaments were healing that he even dove for a fumble during a two-minute drill during minicamp.
"A knee injury? What knee injury?" receiver Frank Murphy said. "I'm like, 'Whoa, this dude is running around.' s"
Culpepper said his knee feels great but wouldn't guarantee he would be ready to play when the Dolphins open the season against the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 7.
"That's the perfect world," Culpepper said. "I just have to be smart about it. So far I have not had any setbacks."
