  • Mississippi defensive end Greg Hardy is expected to confirm as early as Tuesday that he will enter the NFL draft, a person close to Hardy said.

    Hardy had 9.5 tackles for loss, including 8.5 sacks, in only eight games this season. The 6-foot-4, 265-pound junior had 10 sacks as a sophomore and is considered one of the top pass rush specialists in the upcoming draft by Scouts, Inc.

    Hardy, of Millington, Tenn., is rated as the No. 30 overall player by Scouts Inc.

    When healthy & focused, this guy is a freak of nature. Character issues should push him into Round 2, where he could end up being a steal. Unfortunately, I don't think he's a good scheme fit for us.

  • From a Scott Wolf's Inside USC blog:

    There's a lot of buzz going around at USC that quarterback Mark Sanchez will announce he is going pro.

    Taylor Mays said he is not sure what Mark Sanchez will decide but added, "If Mark leaves I'll play quarterback and we can run the spread."

    He's very light (265), so he couldn't be a 3-4 DE, but rather a lightish 4-3 DE, like a Robert Mathis, right???

    I really thinking we should switch to a 4-3...it fits our current talent and I hate hearing how all of these talented players don't "fit our scheme." 🙂

  • Ball State QB Nate Davis (Bellaire, Ohio) is entering the draft. Hope he does well in the pros, he's a local kid that played high school ball about 15 minutes south of where I live.

  • I'm interested to see whether Davis's learning disability causes him to slide on draft day. IIRC, Davis admitted that he struggled absorbing Ball State's playbook because of his LD. That, along with his height (6'1"), could push him down to mid-Day Two.

    Here's a report about another QB prospect considering turning pro:

    USC quarterback Sanchez 'torn' on pending decision

    By Scott Wolf

    USC quarterback Mark Sanchez has not announced a decision on his future, but several sources said Tuesday he has expressed a desire to skip his senior season and go pro as Thursday's deadline to declare for the NFL draft neared.

    "I think he's really torn," safety Taylor Mays said of Sanchez. "He's gone back and forth. I told him regardless of what he does, he's a friend and I support him."

    Sanchez is believed to be leaning toward going pro because Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford might return for his junior season.

  • LeSean McCoy's turning pro, making this RB class even deeper.

  • Eric Norwood is coming back for his senior season

  • Yeah, I'm not happy about that.

    Some more news (from rotoworld😞

    ESPNews reports that Sam Bradford is expected to announce at 5:30ET that he will return to Oklahoma for his redshirt junior year.

    We'll find out in a half hour. There was a report prior to the Sooners' BCS title loss that Bradford would leave school "barring a knee injury."

  • Alo, this coincides with what ESPN was saying about Sanchez about to declare.

    Sanchez would be stupid to stay at this point; now he's sure to be the #2 QB off the board, at worst.

  • Oklahoma TE Jermaine Gresham is staying in school, too. Guess we'll have to see OU get worked by UF again next year. 🙂

  • Wow. Gresham likely was a top 15 pick. In my (tentative) mock, I had him going to the Bills at 11.

  • Chris Mortensen is reporting Mark Sanchez is gone.

    Was there a more underrated QB on the planet last season? He's gonna make a great pick for somebody.

    Tebow is under rated. Many say he won't play the position.

    I think he will prove them wrong.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • With Tebow and Bradford staying in school probably sweetened the choice for Sanchez to go pro.

  • Don't know if this has been mentioned but Ohio Sate WR Brian Hartline is turning pro.

    That is what I was thinking....now this puts him 2nd QB selected behind Stafford and he won't have to deal with the Lions.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • From TFY:

    Percy Harvin/WR/Florida

    Source this evening has told us that Percy Harvin will soon announce he is entering the draft. Harvin has filed his paperwork and officially notified the school he is leaving. This comes on the heels of speculation the past few days that Harvin was hedging on making the jump to the NFL and considered returning to Florida after quarterback Tim Tebow made his decision to return.

    watch him be the next Elway

    Kordell Stewart & Big Ben have been the butt of gay jokes (pun intended) and it turns out his Steelers teammates feel the same way.
