Cassel is an extremely high-character guy. I, like many Pats fans, pretty much felt like your POS safety ended our season a couple minutes into it last year. By the end of the season, a bunch of us were talking about how this had been maybe the most *fun* we'd had rooting for the Pats in the regular season since 2001. It was just really enjoyable to see Cassel get better every week and make really good plays.
Apparently Cassel was a two-way player in high school (QB and safety, not at all unusual) who was known for being an absolutely punishing hitter. He also came very close to moving to TE at USC, since he was stuck behind Leinart and Palmer. He's a tough kid.
