Ole Miss offensive tackle Michael Oher, who was selected with the 23rd pick in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens, told Sporting News’ Bill Eichenberger that he enjoyed every second of his time at Radio City Music Hall in New York, even if he was the last of the prospects on hand to be [...]
Round 1, Pick 26: Clay Matthews
With the 26th pick of the 2009 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers select Clay Matthews, linebacker, USC.
After shoring up the front-line at No. 9 with the pick of B.J. Raji, general manager Ted Thompson did some moving and shaking for the Packers, trading up with the New England Patriots to select Matthews, a California kid. Many had had the Packers taking a playmaking linebacker...
Michael Oher Q&A on Ravens Gab
Ravens Gab did a little Q&A with 1st round draft pick Michael Oher, the tackle from Ole Miss. I’ve got nothing much new to post, so I’m linking my readers out to a competitor.

Day 1 Draft Recap
Sorry about last night, I didn’t post this recap because my computer died. I like what the Ravens did on Day 1. Michael Oher is an absolute beast, and was one of my favorite players in the draft. I had read the book about him (The Blind Side by Michael Lewis), and he couldn’t deserve this more. Growing up in the Memphis ghetto, with gang fights around him every...

Larry English And The Future Of The Pass Rush
Was drafting outside linebacker Larry English in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft a shrewd football move, or an unnecessary one? BoltHype's newest blogger Jeff Williams offers up his take..On a team who’s best defensive player is an outside linebacker, the Chargers spent their first round pick on... an outside linebacker? Seems pretty stupid at first glance, doesn’t...
