I'm glad he's doing that. Sign me up for one of those jerseys

I had one customized on the NFL site. But that wasn't cheap.

I'd be willing to donate to a charity of his choice for a jersey.......

Here's an update on the current status of UConn guys in the NFL. I left off a few guys that may get a shot in training camps. Also, check out a couple of linked articles about Todman, Thomas, & Moore.

Gonna be tough to make the 53 man roster but at least he has a shot...

Facing fresh competition for his real job, the Jaguars’ Dwayne Gratz tried his hand — and feet — at a different one Wednesday.

As you may know Nick Williams was picked up by the Atlanta Falcons this spring. He'll have lots of competition at WR but that's the position (slot) he's been brought in for. It's also assumed that if Devon Hester gets injured Nick could also be used as a return man on special teams. Kyle Shanahan is the new O Coordinator and had Nick on the Redskins. Monday's analysis of the Falcon roster contained the following comment:
"Nick Williams is worth keeping an eye on during the preseason simply because he played under Shanahan with the Redskins, and familiarity with the scheme always helps."
We're all rooting for him to make the 53.

Reggie McClain with the Pats:
(From Courant Article:

Belichick Praises McClain

Former UConn cornerback Robert "Reggie" McClain received high praise from Belichick Friday.

The Patriots acquired McClain from Atlanta in March and signed him to a one-year deal.

"We'll see how he does in our situation, things we ask him to do," Belichick said. "He's a great kid to have around, really alert, bright, good learner, good teammate. I just think he fits in well with this team; glad we have him."

Love that Brown/Beatty/Thomas are on this list - not.

With LB issues, Cowboys will bring in Keith Smith, Lawrence Wilson, Ashlee Palmer for workouts. Also TE Gator Hoskins will work out.

That's good news. When I talked to Woodson up in Green Bay he basically said that Sio better stay on the field cause everyone is coming for his reps.

Love it - he is fired up. He had told me he had hoped to be back and ready for week 1 - so happy to see it.
