NFL Draft Day 2: Round 3

Posted by Adam Hart April 26, 2009 at 10:21 am

I had zero plans of coming to Day 2. Then the Patriots amassed 4 picks in the third round. And then I still had zero plans of making it to Radio City. But theeeeen I made plans to meet my high school friend, Jared, in the City before heading home to Mass. So… why not wake up at 8:50, shower and scramble to get down here with 3 minutes to spare?

No.	Team	Pos.	Player	School

No.	Team	Pos.	Player	School
24		DE/OLB	Larry English	N. Illinois

No.	Team	Pos.	Player	School

Throw History Out The Window

Posted by Adam Hart April 25, 2009 at 11:00 am

1-on-1 with Brian Mandeville

Posted by Randolph Charlotin April 24, 2009 at 5:55 pm

Brian Mandeville is a former Northeastern University tight end that was looking forward to this weekend. He was eligible to be drafted by an NFL team this weekend. But during the combine, it was discovered that Brian had a heart condition. After further tests, he was told he should not play football anymore.

It’s been a while since that story broke, but hearing the story straight from Mandeville as opposed from a Associated Press blurb is much more interesting. Read more
