    Everyone loves a sleeper. How about Caushaud Lyons, a possible five-tech from Tusculum. 9 sacks, 19 TFLs, D-II All-American as senior.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    That's a good first name/university combo!

    Was listening on the radio today, and some commentator - don't know who it was... was talking up Maryland LB Yannick Cudjoe-Virgil.

    I looked him up, and he isn't even on anybody's radar - and what tape I could find of him was uninspiring.

    So if anyone has heard of/seen him....

    Said the guy was as athletic as any LB in the draft... but I couldn't find any evidence of that.

    Doesn't sound like anything special. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profil...gil?id=2552681 Maybe the commentator was his agent?

    I like Darryl Roberts, CB, Marshall. 6'1" 182 lbs. Might be too aggressive for NFL, but he had a private workout with Packers. Sure looks the part.

    ALSO, Kenny Bell isn't exactly under the radar, but he sure reminds me of Donald Driver. Plus, he is a KR...

    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Maxie, I'm with you on Kenny Bell. I am an Iowa Hawkeye fan, and saw him play against the Hawks this past season. Discliamer: I would have been a Badger fan had we not moved to Iowa when I was 9. Bell looks the part, and can high point the ball well. I don't know what scouts say about him, but there were times I noticed that he wasn't completely engaged, and he is playing for Nebraska, which is not known for it's great QB's, so WR's from there can be less visible.

    I think one of the things I was thinking for this thread wasn't necessarily just small school guys, but players that each poster has discovered who deserves more attention than they are receiving. I think Bell fits that. Put him with a good receivers coach, with the right QB, and he could be something.

    Good call red. And a good pick. Fell to r2 just for being shorter than ideal and slow at the combine. 'Tape' suggests we made a great pick.

    Carolina, not much chance of TT drafting him now. Another WR would make fans here apoplectic.
