I was ready to let the whole Oregon football offseason disaster go and move on towards next football season. I was ready to forgive and forget and give these kids a second chance. However I've had enough, and I have to say something about this because to be frank, it’s absolutely ridiculous.
RB Joique Bell was this past season’s Harlon Hill winner and was an NFL Draft hopeful coming out of Division II Wayne State. As illustrious as Bell’s career was for the Warriors, he went undrafted during April’s draft but was named by many people as one of the top UDFA’s available. The Buffalo Bills wasted little time in snatching Bell up by signing him to a three- year deal. Joique was gracious enough to grant us some time to talk about how draft weekend went for him and what it has been like to play for B...
Prior to the draft I had the special opportunity to sit down with one of the best defensive linemen to ever come out of Saginaw Valley State, DT Robert Callaway. While we at Draft Nasty thought that Callaway’s combination of size and skill deserved a draft spot, things didn’t go that way. However, Callaway got a very special gift when his hometown Detroit Lions were one of a number of teams to make him an offer. He signed with the Lions and has been working hard ever since. We got the chance to catch up wit...
I don’t know if Barrett Strong knew back in 1959 that he was singing about college football but it has become clear to us all that the chorus of Barrett’s Motown hit “Money” has never rang more true; “The best things in life are free, But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees, Now gimme money (that's what I want)”.
Last season, Harvey Unga just went along with his business compiling his third consecutive 1,000 yard rushing season for the BYU Cougars. Unga ran for 1,087 yards and scored 11 TD’s, averaging 5.2 yards per carry.
Many of today’s great athletes stay in tip top shape year around, especially those in high school or college who are playing for their futures. These kids don’t have million dollar endorsement deals and haven’t hit it rich yet, so what can you do to stay in shape even during the offseason? Many choose to apply their abilities to another sport, with one of the most popular ones being baseball. With the MLB Draft right around the corner, there a number of big time college football players who will need to ma...
C.J. Spiller set 26 records in his illustrious four year career as a Clemson Tiger. The former Tiger became a Buffalo Bill on April 22 as the ninth overall pick in the NFL Draft, and now it’s time to see how the quick-footed back matches up against NFL talent. Spiller lived up to all the hype during his time at Clemson, and he thinks he will live up to the top ten pick the Bills granted him as well. Draftnasty recently spoke with Spiller about returning for his senior season at Clemson, his first three week...
Every year leading up to April’s NFL Draft, juniors and other draft-eligible prospects across the country consider the options and receive feedback on whether or not they will forgo their remaining collegiate eligibility and turn pro. This feedback comes from a variety of different sources, and it’s almost impossible to know what is 100 percent accurate and what is mere conjecture. One thing is for sure though, every year some of these players make the right decision and become millionaires; others make the...
Shane Hallam, the winner of DraftNasty.com's Mock Draft Contest, dreams about making a living out of analyzing the NFL Draft and its prospects.
Hallam won $1,500 from DraftNasty after matching 9 of 32 first-round picks with their respective NFL teams.
Jarvis Jenkins seriously considered entering the NFL draft last December, but advice from family and friends steered him back to Clemson for his senior year. The 6’4”, 310 lb. nose tackle max squatted 530 lbs., while maxing out on the bench at 395 lbs. this spring. This mammoth defensive lineman has good quickness for his size and looks to be the most promising on a Clemson defensive line that is full of depth. DraftNasty recently sat down with the nose tackle and asked him what he thought about himself as ...
