Sports Bloggers Live Visits the NFL Combine (Not Really)
As advertised in yesterday's Combine post, NFL.com's Pat Kirwan called SBL last night to discuss his weekend in Indy poking and prodding 330+ of college football's finest pro prospects. Hear the interview, which includes a few of these juicy excerpts:
"[Vince Young] could fall to somewhere between six and 10... He might end up being an Oakland Raider (ed. note: Oakland has the seventh pick)... Mike Vick going 2-6 in his last 8 games didn't help...
[When he was with the Jets Kirwan] had a player who got a 3 [on the Wonderlic]. He retook it and was doing single-digits out of two scores combined. You know what, he was a pretty good player. There was just no reason to give him a playbook...
Teams hate taking a guy late who's a distraction [like Marcus Vick]. When a 7th-round pick draws Sports Illustrated and the bloggers from AOL... well, they don't want that."
