TRZR’s 2009 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings
The 2009 NFL Draft is only four days away, and The Red Zone Report’s newest addition, Kevin Roberts, has worked hard to compile rankings of the top prospects at each position, and you can check out all of the 2009 NFL Draft prospect rankings below. The remaining positions will be added either today or tomorrow, [...]
How to Kill Your Draft stock, by Andre Smith
I was occupied over the weekend, so I didn’t see this until today (late, I know), but what to make of Andre Smith’s disappearance from the combine? Yeah, he apologized for it, as he should’ve, but this was the last thing that the reigning Outland Trophy winner needed, with the 2009 NFL Draft only two [...]
NFL Scouting Combine Storylines: Defense and Special Teams
There’s no Glenn Dorsey, Chris Long, Sedrick Ellis, or Vernon Gholston to get wild about in the 2009 NFL Draft, at least at this point. All of those guys were in contention to be the #1 pick in the 2008 draft, and all four were off the board in the first seven picks. What this [...]
With return of terrific trio, ’09 will be sublime
The 2008 college football season has only been over for a week, but I’m already brimming with excitement for the next season. As close as the Heisman race was this past season, how close will it be next season, with not one, not two, but all three of the top three finishers back? Runner-up Colt [...]
Alabama suspends Outland winner Smith for Sugar Bowl
Nothing like a little bowl season suspension news to spice things up, right? Alabama takes on 12-0 Utah in the Sugar Bowl on Friday, but the Crimson Tide will be taking the field in the Big Easy without one of their biggest players, as award-winning offensive lineman Andre Smith has been suspended for a violation [...]
Monday NFL Minute: Titans win (again), Lions lose (again), and plenty more
There’s still one more game to be played in Week 11 of the NFL season, but Week 11’s first 15 games have yielded plenty of observations, a few surprises, and a few things staying according to form. The Titans keep winning, the Lions keep losing, and there was neither in Cincinnati yesterday. Cleveland and Buffalo [...]
Heisman Watch: Looking to Lubbock
Harrell or Crabtree? So simple, but so difficult to decide who’s the Heisman front-runner this week. Is it the guy who threw the game-winning touchdown pass, or the guy who caught it. Crabtree’s year hasn’t been as prolific as last year, but 70 catches, 921 yards, and 15 touchdowns through nine games isn’t shabby. More [...]
Roy Williams trade good for Williams, Dallas, and Detroit
Tuesday was the NFL trading deadline, and while there wasn’t a flurry of action as there tends to be in the other major sports leagues, there was a pretty significant move. Kansas City Chiefs TE Tony Gonzalez was openly on the trading block, but unfortunately for him, he’s stuck in K.C. for at least the [...]
Will Tim Tebow be able to cut it in the NFL?
Last year, history was made in college football. And Gainesville, Florida couldn’t be happier for it. As the highly anticipated 2008 campaign approaches, much ado continues to surround Florida Gator sensation Tim Tebow. In 2007, Tebow became the only sophomore in college football history to win the Heisman Trophy. If his record-setting numbers on the [...]
Best ’09 draft prospects from outside the BCS? McRath, duo of MAC QBs lead the way
In April, there were three prospects from non-BCS schools that were drafted in the first round, in Troy’s Leodis McKelvin (#11 to the Buffalo Bills), Boise State’s Ryan Clady (#12 to the Denver Broncos), and East Carolina’s Chris Johnson (#24 to the Tennessee Titans), and the first wide receiver taken, Donnie Avery (#33 to the [...]
