SENIOR BOWL NOTES & QUOTES...
Connecticut quarterback DAN ORLOVSKY and Oklahoma
linebacker LANCE MITCHELL, both missed Saturday's
game due to them suffering from the flu... they were admitted
to a local area hospital for observation, but released later that
evening...
Here are a few more quotes that were solicited during the week
or in preparation to review certain positions.
* “(I) would say that this (wide) receiver group is better
than I expected… don’t really see a standout yet at
a few other positions, but some very good competition for those
spots, so far… it’s a good group overall, but may
just lacking in terms of top-end talent”, said one NFL scouting
director.
* “(Mark) Clayton has thoroughly impressed
me, but we are a little deep at wide receiver, so I doubt we would
look at him unless he slipped and other positions were off the
board… besides him (Reggie) Brown from
Georgia has done some good things and (I) would have liked to
have seen more of the (Roddy) White kid from
UAB”, explained one NFL wide receivers coach.
* “With so many underclassmen adding themselves to this
draft it becomes important for more of these seniors to show us
something this week… as it is the last time we will evaluate
them without including the junior class to the mix”, according
to another NFL scouting director.
* “(I) have to admit… it surprised me to see guys
like Ronnie Brown (Auburn, RB), Kevin
Burnett (Tennessee, LB) and even David Pollack
(Georgia, DE) not take advantage of this kind of opportunity…
those are just three names that come to mind, as (I) am sure there
are a few others that also skipped out on playing in this game”,
said one NFL college scouting director.
When asked to name the one player they felt should have been
invited that was not, the following names were mentioned the most:
Toledo offensive lineman NICK KACZUR… Oregon
State quarterback DEREK ANDERSON… Southern
Illinois running back BRANDON JACOBS… Montana
fullback JUSTIN GREEN… Hampton wide receiver/return
man JEROME MATHIS… Portland State tight
end TONY CURTIS… Montana State linebacker
ROGER COOPER and Northwestern defensive tackle
LUIS CASTILLO…
