UConn "continuing the school’s new tradition...

...as a producer of NFL talent"!

Found this in Sio's NFL.com/combine/profile:

"In the 20 editions of the NFL draft before UConn moved to the Big East in 2004, the Huskies saw four of their players selected. In the last eight drafts since, 16 players from Connecticut have heard their names called. Former Huskies head coach Randy Edsell is no longer with the program after leading it though the transition to the FBS that helped the team get more recruits, but Moore (whose full first name is Snorsio, with the shortened version pronounced SEE-oh) is expected to join as many as five teammates in continuing the school’s new tradition as a producer of NFL talent."

Manuel was simply waiting for the quote. Now he can print those cards for the ACC

That's a tradition we can all get behind.

NFL Combine notes: The intrigue around Manti Te'o grows - cbsprt.co/X9ejSE

>>After a week in Indianapolis at the NFL Combine, there were a lot of interesting story lines to follow. Here are the 10 that most caught my eye:

5. We now know why UConn fielded some formidable defenses. It's not surprising to see Bama and FSU and LSU players getting attention, but UConn is hardly viewed as a football factory. But the Huskies ranked No. 10 in the nation in total defense, No. 7 in rushing defense and No. 19 in sacks last season despite a 5-7 record. No question former Huskies defensive coordinator Don Brown deserves plenty of credit, but his former players created a lot of buzz in Indy. Trevardo Williams was the fastest DL; Sio Moore, an OLB, was one of the most impressive defensive players and DB Dwayne Gratz clocked a 4.35 40 unofficially and Blidi Wreh-Wilson, another DB, also looked good. <<

Most of those players were exceptional before the current regime showed up. It's good news, and I hope this is still a trend for use 4-5 years from now despite Pasqualoni.

I love this and hate this at the same time. Love for our alum in the NFL; hate that we only managed to win 5 games the last few seasons. Thanks George!

Nothing personal upstate but funk the ACC.

The NFL has given us their stamp of approval. Huge, huge, huge endorsement but also incredible how pro sports now dictate how college sports operate. Used to be the other way around.

I think our players who represented us since we went FBS have represented us to beyond what anyone of us can ever have imagined.
