Of course, with the beating that guy took, maybe pitching was a better choice.

Had a couple carries late in the most recent pre season game.
I’d guess he’s better than 50/50 to stick, mainly as a special teamer to start.

I was particularly interested in Robert Hughes; seemd to have an NFL body and came on strong at the end of last season. I think he went to camp with the Bears, as he’s a Chicago boy.

I’m sure you’ve already thought of this, but is there any chance that you’d be willing to write a post about all of the ND rookies in the NFL once rosters are finalized? Just a quick rundown of who made rosters, who didn’t, prospects of playing time, etc. would be great.

I’m sure that there are many readers like myself that are interested, but too busy to keep up with it.

Calvin Johnson, Ted Ginn, Dwayne Bowe, Robert Meachem, Craig Davis, and Anthony Gonzalez all taken in the 1st round.

Occasionally a slider with some bite, but looks every bit the journeyman to me.

Good Luck Jeff !!
