Oklahoma quarterback, Sam Bradford hasn't been taking time off to nurse his injury. Not in the slightest. Coming into the NFL Combine, his throwing regimenùsupervised by Dr. James Andrewsùhas been as often as every other day with throws ranging from 20 to 40 yards. Asked by a reporter how hard he was throwing, Bradford replied, "It's 20 to 40 yards and I'm putting as much as I can on them. If you ...

Eric Decker and Jacoby Ford are two sides of the same coin. Decker, a 6'3", 217-pound wideout from Minnesota, has been turning heads his entire life. The multi-sport athlete has always dodged questions about possible detours through baseball or basketball. Ford is a smaller receiver (5'9", 186 pounds) but has even bigger doubters about his football pedigree. "Track guy" is the most prevalent critique.  Both receivers had phenomenal senior seasons. Decker started 2009 on a ...

Take a good look at John Jerry. The Ole Miss Rebel is disappearing fast...literally. In his playing career, Jerry admits to weighing as much as 360lbs. He played last year at 340lbs. Now? A slim 328 and dropping fast. Meanwhile, his strength is still there. John Jerryùnot his brother Peria, not Michael Oherùholds the Ole Miss bench press record with 34 reps of 225. If he repeats that number in his combine workout later ...

You don't know Brandon Carter. People think they know Brandon Carter. They see the tattoos, the face paint, the Mohawk, the general antics. They peg Carter as a malcontent, a troublemaker. The Texas Tech guard has been labeled as "risky," a "gamble," and has "character issues." But the young man took to the Combine podium on day one and really only one word could describe him: "respectful." Honestly, that trait stuck out ...

For years, professional scout Daniel Jeremiah has made the best out of even the most humble of situations. At a small high school in San Diego, Jeremiah set his county's passing record. He received a division one scholarships and began he college career at UL Monroe, eventually transferring to Appalachian State. When the NFL didn't come calling, ESPN did. Jeremiah worked as a spotter for Sunday Night Football until running into T.J. ...

With all due respect to Ndamukong Suh, the Detroit Lions might be better off if he is a St. Louis Ram in April of 2010. No one is debating his talent level. The boy named Suh deserves to be the number one pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. In fact, if he "fell" to number two overall, the Detroit Lions would be foolish not to take him. However, if the Rams select ...

This NFL season is running away quicker than a Chris Johnson touchdown run. Seems like only yesterday Pittsburgh and Tennessee were kicking off the year in a 13-10 OT thriller. It couldn't have really been three months ago that Green Bay and Chicago looked absolutely clueless on the first Sunday night game. It's true, the NFL is at the three-quarter pole and playoffs are just around the corner. Here at ...

Now HERE is the reason for the holiday season! Let's all be real here. Turkey and Mashed Potatoes are great and all but no red-blooded man would pass up a nice cold beer for any of the holiday fixin's in my last power rankings article. Ham and crescent rolls may be great and all, but when family comes to townùalcohol is the only spirit that today's Bob Cratchit wants taking him ...
