Nice Article in this weeks Sporting News about Carson Palmer's brother at UTEP and how he's the best QB at a Non BCS School. Jordan is his first name.

[KD]

I'll take Justin Blalock in the first please.

Edit Where's my boy Lamar Woodley?

Is he a Senior? This list is Seniors only.

DE at Michigan right?

Yeah he's a 6-2 268 pound DE who will be a very good 3-4 linebacker in the pros IMO.

He is a senior.

I disagree , Quinn is the best QB in the nation and is every bit as good as Carson Palmer was when he came out.
I am not a fan of ND but have seen every one of there games this year and although ND has not played to expectaions Quinn Has looked awsome.

[Cowboy Junkie]

Tony Hunt I believe wil not be a good pro.
He dosent seem to have the speed and quickness to make it in the NFL.

Don't waste your breath... you're arguing with a 12-year old brick wall.

Him, or Kyle Young... Blalock is the best Texas offensive lineman in a long, long time, while Young is the best center prospect in the last 5-10 years... he's big enough to go head up with your average everyday 350 pound NT...
