This just isn't true but whatever.12-Gauge got drafted on the back of beating 'Bama, plain and simple. Not so plain and simple for Zeke Elliott but a good chunk of the "credit" for him going in the 1st round goes there, too.

He had 3 great games, all in a 3 game span to close out that championship. He got the same kind of boost that Howard is gettingfor his monstergame against Clemson. The stage matters as much as the opponent.12-Gauge got drafted on the back of beating 'Bama, plain and simple.

I was surprised that Arians signed a Bama QB with his history with the Bama program. But,I guess if you are going to run a NFL team, it's bet not to have the mentality of a 13 year old girl holding a grudge against her ex-BFF.Great spot for Coker out there with Arians.
You beat me to this analogy about OJ. If you recall, then same happened to Eddie Lacy's draft stock after the last 3 games of the 2012 season. Once he got healthy, he ran all over Auburn, UGA and Notre Dame 3 great games to end the 2012 season. During the BCSNG, Herbie was raving how we were just now seeing what a healthy Eddie Lacy could do, but that he was the best of any RB that year when healthy.He had 3 great games, all in a 3 game span to close out that championship.

Urban's best attribute as a coach isn't recruiting, it isn't scheme, it isn't even his actual coaching, it's his ability to pinpoint talented coaches for his staff. He's done it everywhere he's gone. It's not that he isn't good at the other aspects, it's that he's better than just about anyone we've ever seen at hiring a staff. I'll be really surprised if Warriner/Beck don't turn it around.To be fair about Cardale Jones, I thought he was all fluff when he started whiffing this year as well - but even after they put in JT Barret thy still weren't the dazzle-fest from the year before. The likely truth is that the change in OC had a massive effect on everyone's production. Jones more than likely has a huge upside (Roethlisberger) that has to be brought out by a decent offensive scheme. OSU took a big step back with their new OC hire... at least compared to what Herman brought to the table.
Undrafted free agents sign three-year contracts for the rookie minimum, which starts at $450,000 annuallyWhat's the typical paycheck for a UDFA?
That is if they make the team. Does anyone know what they make for the "tryout" portion?Undrafted free agents sign three-year contracts for the rookie minimum, which starts at $450,000 annually
That's only if the UDFA makes the 53 man roster which is very tough to do."Undrafted free agents sign three-year contracts for the rookie minimum, which starts at $450,000 annually"
Wow! I thought it would be in the $150,000 range.
IIRC, I think it's something similar to being on the practice squad in the range of $6000 per week during the football season. I'm not sure they make anything for just being in camp and trying out..That is if they make the team. Does anyone know what they make for the "tryout" portion?

This is what Pettway is getting so far as an UDFA..http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/undrafted-free-agents/
Typically $5-10k guaranteed for Bama guys; some others a bit more, some nada.

He did sign with the 49ers. $4,000 signing bonus and $3,000 of base salary guaranteed for this season.I heard Darren lake ended up with the 49ers didn't see it In the thread
That's great for Washington. Hope he makes it. However, I have no idea what the Rams are doing personnel wise. I read yesterday that the AU receiver who was kicked off the team last year, Duke Williams, also signed with the Rams. Side note: Jeff Fisher has a propensity to draft/accumulate AU players because his son was a walk on at AU, IIRC. Fisher drafted Greg Robinson with their first round pick a few years ago and also drafted Tre Mason. Not criticizing just a notation. The article went on to say that the Rams have 15 (!!!!) wide receivers in camp. I understand that teams need bodies in camp to get everyone reps and do all the drills but 15 wide receivers seemed excessive..Jabriel Washington signed a deal with the LA Rams yesterday.
He'll be living in a box in San Francisco...he better find someone to room with.He did sign with the 49ers. $4,000 signing bonus and $3,000 of base salary guaranteed for this season.
I'm pretty sure the way the UFDA contracts are written is the "base guarantee" is the weekly contracted amount since the UFDA's are week-to-week until they make the team. If they do make either the practice squad or the roster, it normally gets recontracted to a full season salary.He'll be living in a box in San Francisco...he better find someone to room with.
