JaMarcus Russell and the Top 10 NFL prospects!
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
JaMarcus Russell, is he a future Raider?
For a Lions fan, this is the best time of the year.
At the beginning of the season, we started our losing early. Soon after that we gave up on the Lion’s chances of being in the NFL playoffs. The Lions complied and continued to lose.
This gave us hope for the 1st pick in the draft. The Lions were the leader, because they had lost to easier teams than the other loser franchise, Oakland!
Much to our dismay, the Lions pulled out the Cowboys game to end the season. The Cowboys were left staring at the goal line as the game ended. What were my Lions thinking?
Oh, well, you pay the number two pick less money, right?
So, let’s talk about the top 10 prospects.
JaMarcus Russell, quarterback, LSU
Joe Thomas, offensive tackle, Wisconsin
Adrian Peterson, running back, Oklahoma
Calvin Johnson, wide receiver, Georgia Tech
Gaines Adams, defensive end, Clemson
Ted Ginn Jr., wide receiver, Ohio State
Alan Branch, defensive tackle, Michigan
Jamaal Anderson, defensive end, Arkansas
Paul Posluszny, linebacker, Penn State
Reggie Nelson, safety, Florida
Your humble author has remained steadfast in his fan affiliation with the Spartans of Michigan State University. That being said, my Spartys have played against of few of these guys before.
Joe Thomas from Wisconsin Hey, the Spartys did not play them this year, but they did last year. How can you watch a game on TV and tell how good a tackle is? The whole line at Wisconsin does the zone blocking thing and they run and run.
Ted Ginn Jr from Ohio State My Spartys did play against Ted Ginn this year and this guy can blaze. If there is a receiver faster than this guy, then show me. He runs great routes. One year he beat us on a crossing route by just catching the short pass and out running the whole team.
Alan Branch from University of Michigan Yeah, we played against this guy and basically tried to run anywhere he was not. He moves surprisingly fast for a very large man and you can not run through him. He is a block of granite.
Paul Posluszny from Penn State Oh boy, we played this guy and by the time you can figure out how to spell his last name, he has already tackled 3 different guys. Can’t explain it, but this guy was all over the field. If there was a tackle, his name was called.
Who would have thought, 4 out of the top ten out of the Big Ten?
NFL Football Fan Question Have you seen any of these other guys?

With Jones foot being questionable we need a running back. We can’t go into next season with the cast of second stringers that played at the end of last year. No one respected our running game and we able to T off on Kitna. Detroit hasn’t had a back with break away speed or pro-bowl moves since barry retired. With number two pick money you better get a star. Peterson should wear a lions uniform next year. But, then again, Millen is in charge so we will probably draft someone else.

Matt wants to know if he can play any wide receiver? :)
Put me down for Peterson too. If you can’t get a QB, then get a star runner! Lions fans have so litte to cheer about, please don’t give me another tackle.
