The Lions' Pride

I believe it was said by Ki-jana Carter at the Blue-White game about what Joe said about Still, but I'm not positive. Something about "Most disruptive interior D-lineman I've ever coached" or something like that. I believe it was mentioned somewhere during the Illinois game also, but again, I can't remember for sure. I'm about due to watch the BlueWhite game again so I'll check in after that. The Illinios game is never leaving my DVR so I'll check that also.

Until then, this was online:

“During that time when he was hurt, he (Paterno) told Devon he’d be the best defensive lineman to ever come out of Penn State,” Still’s father, Antonio Still, said. “That’s pretty special. It really inspired Devon because he went out and had a tremendous season and tried to prove those words to be true.”

I'm on mobile, can someone put the headslap emoticon in there for me? Thanks.

The Seahawks are absolutely mystifying. What on earth are they doing?

Well Sean, hopefully Cousins develops into either a very good backup or a guy you can trade down the road for picks.

I came across this article yesterday after researching Jenkins.

"12. FLORIDA 2008

Janoris Jenkins
Class rank: 3rd.

The signees: Five-stars: ATH Will Hill (No. 10), DT Omar Hunter (No. 17), OT Matt Patchan (No. 18), WR Carl Moore (JUCO transfer). Four-stars: CB Janoris Jenkins (No. 51), LB Brendan Beal (No. 73), LB William Green (No. 83), LB Lerentee McCray (No. 115), S Dee Finley (No. 124), ATH Adrian Bushell (No. 157), WR Omarius Hines (No. 163), WR T.J. Lawrence (No. 165), WR Frankie Hammond Jr. (No. 212), RB Jeffrey Demps (No. 241), CB Jeremy Brown, DE Earl Okine. Three-stars: DT Troy Epps, LB T.J. Pridemore, C Sam Robey, OT David Young. Two-stars: DT Byran Jones, K/P Caleb Sturgis.

What went wrong: If we were simply rating which Top 10 classes had underachieved the most, this group might rank higher on the list. But we're focusing on which classes were hurt the most by defections or other off-field issues. The four five-star recruits in this class haven't necessarily lived up to their rankings thus far, but all have stayed at Florida for the duration of their college careers (though Hill chose to enter the draft earlier than expected). Jenkins was kicked off the team and finished his career at North Alabama, but he played at an All-America level before running into trouble. Other four-star transfers included Beal (Minnesota), Bushell (Louisville), Finley (North Alabama) and Lawrence (Florida A&M). Pridemore and Jones also have left the program.

Farrell's take: "This class is loaded with kids who didn't live up to the billing. Will Hill became more famous for his Twitter feed than his play on the field, Hunter and Patchan have not been five stars and many of the rest are a good reason why Florida had a rough season this year. Janoris Jenkins really hurt, he was a great SEC player."

I'm a 'Skins fan too. I don't mind the pick. RGIII is going to get hurt eventually. I don't want Grossman coming in if we don't have to. If Cousins plays well in a game or two, we can trade him for a coup.

I'm really happy the Eagles took Boykin. Good value late in the 4th.

Did Andy take the week off?

Throwing me for a curve that Jerry Jones AND Andy Reid are making good decisions in the draft at the same time.

Josh Chapman is a great pick for the Colts, IMO, especially in the 5th round. Get a solid NT for the 3-4. I've been saying they need to get defensive players for that 3-4, because they just have so few guys who fit it.

Totally have forgotten about Burfict. Haven't followed this draft all that closely. What the hell happened to him? I remember when he was a Top 15 pick.

4.90 fourty. Supposedly, came off really bad in the interview portion of the combine to top it off.

Johnnie Troutman to Chargers with 14th pick of fifth round.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Johnnie

Happy for him, now if he would just focus! ha
