Carson Palmer, Reggie Bush and Justin Fargas have done pretty well, IMHO. Mike Williams had a good preseason for Seattle, not sure if he is still up there or not. Most of the other guys mentioned are defensive players.


Mike is averaging a few catches a game and getting good PT. Not bad for someone who has basically been out of competitive ball for a few years. I believe he'll be a solid receiver, but certainly not where you'd expect given his draft.

Fargas is a very good hard runner, but he is nearing the end of his shelf life. NFL RBs dont last long nowadays. I think thats why a lot of teams are going to a 2 back system.

why is offensive line the one position where the Big Ten has produced more NFL talent than the SEC?


Lawl the Big10 and midwest schools(Pitt ND the MAC etc) have produced infinity more talent at WR then the SEC or the southeast in general.

Yeah he's looked pretty good, certainly looked good against SF in week one, caught some balls and pulled back a CB as he was about to get a pick 6 (which the refs then called defensive pass interference )

this tidbit is literally like adding that "It's daylight when the sun is shining outside."

Anyone in this conversation has to know that little bit of trivia fwiw.
