If he were a couple of inches taller, Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith would be a definite first round draft pick. But, because of his height, he’ll likely be drafted in a later round. That’ll be a mistake for several NFL teams.

When the Packers opted not to re-sign Ahman Green, there was a lot of speculation about who their starting running back would be. In my opinion, the best guy they have at the position is one that probably shouldn’t have even made the team.
DeShawn Wynn was a 7th round …

When the Packers brought in punter Jon Ryan last year, I found myself impressed with his leg strength and felt, with some work, he could round out to be a good punter.

Ryan’s biggest problem last season is he …

Justin Williams of the Sacramento Kings who is entering his second season out of Illinois must start to show what he got in his game to stay in the league. He has so far struggled from his rookie season and just hasn’t gotten himself going. I like Williams in …

A lot of people think this is the year the Arizona Cardinals finally end their losing streak and make the playoffs. I’m not convinced.
