From Mobile, Alabama, the site of the granddaddy of NFL Draft showcase games the 2010 Under Armour Senior Bowl, the best college football seniors gathered after practice to share their thoughts about the week of practice, in addition to the players they model their game after and the ‘dream team” that they could play for.

Absolutely solid stuff from Mississippi State’s Anthony Dixon, Mississippi’s Dexter McCluster helps us define his role in the NFL, and Cincinnati’s Mardy Gilyard tells me about how he competes with his Senior Bowl teammates. And you might be surprised by college football’s all-time leading touchdown maker Dan Lefevour’s favorite team ever.

Oh yes, we talk defense with Terrence “Mount” Cody of the National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide. Check out the interviews after the jump.

Daniel Freer, Fantasy College Blitz “Minister of the Non-BCS”, continues profiling some of the top NFL picks that come from schools Divison I-FCS and lower.

One thing consistent with most NFL Drafts, there will always be a good RBs available from schools outside the Division I-FCS.

Gosh, arguably the greatest RB in NFL history, the late Walter Payton, played his college football at Jackson State, then a Division II school.

Now, not saying that Liberty University RB Rashad Jennings (photo, thanks The Sports Network) is going to be the next    “Sweetness”…however, do not be surprised he ends up playing quite a bit…maybe even starting…for your favorite team in 2009.

Yes, Jennings is that good. Read the rest of this entry →
