Z-P Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 Bumping around looking for info on Mike and Matt, I stumbled across this: http://www.theredzone.org/2004/draft/udfa/school.asp It's a pretty good read. Still can't believe Osunde wasn't drafted. Here's my take on what's happening with the NFL these days..............with the AFL, the AFL2 and NFL Europe all going on at the same time, the NFL has a harder time getting bodies in spring camps these days..........to evaluate their draftees and free agents. So.........almost anybody coming out of D1 who will put the work into getting into shape can get into a camp. They pay these guys 3-5K to come play football for a while until veterans, EuroNFLers and selected AFL players come back. Poor guys get their hopes up and whammy..............deflation and return to the real world. I just hope these guys didn't trash classes and miss graduation. I don't mean Mike and Matt speciifically, I mean the seniors in general. Quote

Myers, a Wellington native, was assigned to Europe by the New York Jets. Quote

Is that the same Roger Brown that said #5 was definitely entering the NFL draft...and that numerous Zips were going to follow Owens to Ashland? Man, that guy has a great gig. Quote
