NICE air on this kid & he's got the football blood runin through the familia, check him if ya wanna, some teams are interested in him!! Talk about sporting an impressive vertical leap. No player has seemingly used the Senior Bowl and Indianapolis scouting combine platforms as draft-board springboards more effectively than Tennessee State University cornerback/returner Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The small-school standout with 11 career interceptions in the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) Ohio Valley Conference has made a big jump up draft boards. Maybe even all the way into the top 10. "I would argue that he's moved up in the pre-draft process more than any other player," says ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay. "Heading into the Senior Bowl, he was probably, at best, a late second-round pick.

      You's guys comments is so good, they have to put a little moderation on them. Maybe this guy finds his way to Big D.

    Yeah I've heard nothing but good things about him since the senior bowl, looks like whoever drafts him will get one hell of a player.
  • stathopoulos_p
    This guy is a cousin of Antonio Cromartie and he plays the same position.
    Will we see another NFL family soon?
    (The Manning family is the most famous NFL family).
    • i know lol about the manning familia!!
      agreed to the next generation of cromartie familia!!!
    • FIVERINGS
      Placard_complete_small
      Much better than the Vick family, for sure.
      • LMAO! i am very very sure of that!!!!!!!
  • dude, they say i cuss too much, i guess Darn it and stupid are cuss words too. I would love Dominque as an Eagle, but hes going to be gone during the 1-10 overall picks. so, lito and asante or lito and sheldon i guess i am rascist or qualitist against corners in that i wont think theyre good if they dont have a pro bowl i think sheldon should have 3 by now but apparently terrence newman is better (wuts up wit that?) My question is, who's better; LITO OR SHELDON? Eagle fans, i know dominque is awesome and has a great future, but this i think is a great uestion?
    • HUH? i'm not sure what u mean princede, sorry for whatever it is that's bothering u.
      lito & sheldon is a tough call for me. the eagles have only shown minimal interet in Cromartie so we shall see, i blogged it because it covers alot of teams and i have a diversified crowd on my page, which i totally dig that. makes for good discussions. hope your easter rocked!!

      its more than apparent that newman is better than brown, he is better...brown is very good and so is lito so let me get that outta the way before u guys think i'm bashing your players cause that is what u guys seem to assume and that's not what I'm doing...but overall u gotta admit the better cover corner between the two is newman...but u guys still have real good corners
      • well thanks for the input love4dastar, um i didn't think u were bashing anyone. my corner of the yard is a bit different then some.....opinions are welcome as long as they are not overly nasty or negative ;)!! take care & have a kicken day!!!
      • well i just replied to your answer on the mr. chad blog, um u left yourself wide open for a flame on that one buddy, so basically i guess u r on your own now....
      • FIVERINGS
        Placard_complete_small
        I would agree that Newman is better than Brown. A good safey like Dawkins makes anyone look good back there. Was the same way when Woodson roamed the backfield for Dallas. As far as the overall secondary, Philly has the edge now with Samuel and Dawkins. I think that the Cowboys are going to have to counter that themselves with a good safety or corner.
  • 5forlife
    The Eagles should get him because A: Dallas wants him and it would piss them off, and B: we would be able to trade Lito and it would be like we didn't lose a probowl CB in the first place.
    • agreed to the not losing the probowl CB 5forlife, hope your easter rocked!!!
      • 5forlife
        Thanks hope your easter rocked too.
        • it did !!! thanks for hitten me back!!!
    • stathopoulos_p
      Do you know who else that move would anger? The New England Patriots. They are also considering to take the guy with their seventh pick. (if he's still available, that is).
      • i didn't know that, thanks stathopoulos!!!
        • stathopoulos_p
          Especially since Asante Samuel left via free agency. They are getting tight at conerback and I heard on ESPN that the Patriots are considering him to be their first-round draft pick.
      • NICE huh, off season is buzzin for all teams!!!
  • PHILLYMISFIT5
    yeah i like this kid alot
    • NICE huh, i dig your pic, i'm a huge misfits fan myself!! welcome to the yard!!!

          No, but Tom Brady may like that to go with that kickin' top he was wearing on that post here a while back. I think I'll pass.
    • stathopoulos_p
      This kid is going to end up just like Bob Sanders or maybe like his cousin, Antonio Cromartie.
      • i just gotta find out about this health issue thing :(
        but ya i think so too, he's pretty off the hook & has some great air under him!!
  • FIVERINGS
    Placard_complete_small
    On a more serious note, I heard on ESPN Radio today that Cromartie has some health issues that will drop him in the draft order. I think draft prospects are due for more physical exams soon and the particulars will become known then. I know the Cowboys are very intersted in this guy and one other CB.
    • U R kidding me.....wonder what's up,now i must find out lol! thanks five!!!
  • i can't find anything out, not even via phone :(
    • FIVERINGS
      Placard_complete_small
      No, they said they couldn't elaborate on the radio today, but it will come out as soon as the new physicals become available to the NFL.
      • k thanks for the heads up five, i'll be sure to hunt that down!!!
        • FIVERINGS
          Placard_complete_small
          OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I wouldn't want to be the hunted with you after me. I better put my affairs in order soon. I'm still waiting for MarkoD to show up at my door with a bike chain wrapped around his fist. Yikes!!! Thanks.
