    Draft leaves practice after asthma attack
    August 1, 2005

    SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) -- Carolina Panthers linebacker Chris Draft had an asthma attack Monday that forced him to leave practice early.

    Draft said he would sit out the second practice of the day while he recovered. Diagnosed with asthma in college, Draft said he has typically been able to control it. His only serious attack happened last season during training camp with the Atlanta Falcons when he had to be hospitalized.

    ``It comes up more so in training camp,'' he said. ``It is something I have to deal with. Everyone has a little something they have to deal with. You can either make excuses for it, or do something about it. That's my baggage that I have to carry around with me.''

    Draft signed as a free agent with the Panthers this spring. He started 13 games for the Falcons last season and had 81 tackles. He spent five years with the Falcons after they claimed him off waivers from San Francisco in 2000.

    My asthma was allergy-related. I wonder what causes his?

    I leave early because I'm there in the first place.
