The Blue Workhorse

There is often a Cinderella-type story at the NFL’s Combine every year that gets an unlikely invite and makes a few waves. Mel Kiper gives the guy his own feature on Draft Day, he gets selected on the second day of the draft, and maybe makes it as a semi-successful professional backup.

This year, however, the Cinderella story, Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco may end up being a steal in the draft. The 6-foot-6 inch (and 3/8ths) fellow-who-is-quite-tall is also 236 pounds, and according to FanHouse’s Michael David Smith, Flacco says he plans to run his 40-yard dash somewhere between 4.6-4.7 seconds.

College football’s other season started off slowly, but is now coming on strong in the first full month since the end of the January Bowl Championship Series concluded.

No…not off season workouts and preparations before spring practice, not recruiting for the future of the program. No. This season involves DUI, underage consumption, public intoxication, firearm possession, and armed robbery.
