Brandon Backe has a hard time taking it easy. He was constantly told to hold back on physical therapy as he tried rehabilitate his right elbow following ligament replacement surgery in 2006. The doctors and trainers finally won out, but Backe still returned sooner than expected and made five starts last September, winning his last three.
