ESPN's Mel Kiper and Todd McShay have their post-draft grades up.

The Texans see former Rice TE and fifth round draft choice, James Casey, as a fullback as well.

The selection of Michigan State RB Javon Ringer will put pressure on Tennessee backups Chris Brown and Rafael Little to perform.

With the selection of RB Beanie Wells, the Edgerrin James era in Arizona is all but over.

NFL bound Texas Longhorn

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 23:05:28 -0500

Hello Everyone! This is Chris Ogbonnaya, former running back of the University of Texas Longhorns (jersey #3). I'd like to first start off by thanking Coach Mack Brown, and all the Texas Longhorns football staff, for guiding my Longhorn class into UT football record books as the winningest class in Longhorn football history. I had such a great time and experience at UT. My teammates were unbelievable, and I'll never forget any of them because of their unique characteristics, and bonds that we shared. Longhorn fans, you guys are second to none in college football, and rival any sporting franchise fan base in the world.

This year has been such a blessing. Being able to contribute to our 12 wins this season was such an honor, and I will remember every moment for the rest of my life. It has also afforded me an opportunity at a life long dream: to play in the NFL. I have been invited to the Texas v. Nation all-star game, and Indianapolis for the combine. I am so excited at the opportunity to be able to compete with several great players all-around college football.

Since leaving UT, I made my agent selection, and commenced my combine training preparation in Carlsbad, California (San Diego). I am training with Pro Prep at the Velocity Performance Center, with trainer Doug Hix. It's good to see great collegiate athletes from all over the country, working towards a common goal, albeit individually. Some of these athletes include Javon Ringer, Ian Johnson, Hunter Cantwell, and Tredale Tolver. All of the guys down here are hard working, and down to earth. Although I wake up everyday very soar, I look forward to challenging myself and pushing the limits of my mind, body, and soul.

My UT fans will remember the show I hosted, "Kickin it with the Horns" with my Longhorn brethren Brian Orakpo, that aired weekly on "http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com." This is the start of my personal blog I will write twice a week during the season. Since this draft process is long eventful, I will be writing a weekly blog during this time as well to share with you all this wonderful and exciting, time in my life. I would like to take this opportunity to thank God, and my family for all their love, support, and guidance. And lastly, I would like to thank all you fans. Without you, none of this would be possible, and I will always remember that. Hook 'Em Horns!

Chris Ogbonnaya

Get Your Shrine On!

Sat, 17 Jan 2009 18:26:31 -0500

So the first of the Senior showcase games is today on ESPN2 at 3pm in the East-West Shrine Game from Houston, Texas. While the game does have some exciting players, the real reason for the East-West contest is to raise funds for Shriners Hospitals for Children. Every year since 1925, this has been the case, and this year is not different. What do I know though, right? Let's have the oddest pairing of individuals ever explain it to you. Here's John Elway and Justin Timberlake! While I...

Week 4 in college football kicked off with a bang as Louisville pulled off a small upset, beating Kansas State 38-29 at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium Wednesday night.

09 Draft Rankings: QBs

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 22:43:22 -0500

1. Matthew Stafford (Georgia)* Round Projection: Early 1st He appears to be the top QB prospect in this draft. He has a strong arm and usually makes good decisions with the football. I think he can be a team's franchise QB if they decide that he's worth using big money on. 2. Tim Tebow (Florida)* Round Projection: 1st-3rd Tebow could realistically still end up anywhere in this draft. I think he has a great arm, although past QB failures in Meyer's system (A. Smith) will ...

NFL Draft Prospect Viewing Guide

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 17:57:08 -0500

A chronological look at the players we selected as "Players to Watch" for the 2009 NFL Draft. Here's a hint - free up some space on your DVR and clear your schedule for October 11th. Corey Lewis - RB - Northern Iowa Big Game: 8/30 @ BYU A small-school prospect from the same place that produced Kurt Warner, Lewis is a beast for the UNI Panthers. He averages nearly six yards each time he carries the rock. The combine will probably determine how high he climbs, but playing ...
