Seahawks wide receiver Deion Branch understands his surgically repaired left knee will never be the same. However, he believes he can still perform at the same level as before he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the last game of the 2007 season in the NFC playoffs at Green Bay. And Branch proved he still has some gas in the tank at the end of last season, finally returning to the field healthy and turning some heads with his ability to get open after bruising his right heel against the New York Giants earlier in the 2008 season. Ill never sit back and think about my knee once I take the field, Branch said. Once Im on the field running around Im not worried about my knee because I think with the job the guys in the training room do and what we do in our weight room helps clear that up and helps you have that confidence" Source: The News Tribune
