    Air Force safety Weston Steelhammer “shocked” by policy change before NFL draft

    As he settled in to watch Day 3 of the NFL draft Saturday, Air Force safety Weston Steelhammer received news that immediately altered his future. But he never received a call. He never heard from an NFL team. He never got that moment to celebrate his leap to the pros. Instead, he only read that the opportunity he had worked months to try to obtain had suddenly vanished. “I first found out waking up to a Denver Post article and bunch of text messages (Saturday),” Steelhammer s

    Cowboys Take Marquez White

    The latest NFL draft pick from the Dallas Cowboys is in, and Marquez White of Florida State is on his way to D-FW. The Cowboys selected White with the 216th overall pick in the sixth round. Earlier in the round, the Cowboys traded away the 211th pick to New England in exchange for Nos. 216 and 239. White (6-0, 194 pounds) allowed only one touchdown over his last two seasons as cornerback for the Seminoles. White racked up 25 tackles in each of his last two seasons at Florida

    Joe Mixon has Emotional Call With Media after Selection By Bengals

    Joe Mixon was emotional, often crying, during Friday's conference call with Cincinnati media after the Bengals selected him with the 48th overall pick. Mixon was suspended by Oklahoma for the full 2014 season after he punched a woman, breaking four bones in her face, in a Norman, Oklahoma, deli. The 20-year-old reached a civil settlement agreement last Friday with the woman. He accepted a plea deal in the criminal case stemming from the incident. Joe, what was your reaction w

    Joe Thomas sees the draft as a soap opera with unpaid actors

    Ten years ago, tackle Joe Thomas opted not to attend the draft. He recently explained that he didn’t want to be an unpaid actor in the NFL’s top offseason drama. “The idea of going to New York for five days and kinda being paraded around by the NFL as they make money off your every step, and the whole purpose is just for publicity for me to stand there in a suit and go, ‘Look at me everybody!’… That sounds horrible,” Thomas tells Graham Bentsinger in a new interview that debu

    Mixon Made Smart Choice When Picking Agent

    With the help of his agent Peter Schaffer, Joe Mixon has done an impressive job of refurbishing his image in recent months. And while some teams have taken him off their draft board, many others haven't. "I think he's going to go in the second or third round,'' NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said. "There's an ownership conversation involved with him. Some owners have already told their people to take him off the board. "But he's made visits to nearly 20 teams. He did a

    Joe Mixon is most complete RB prospect in this draft

    For this piece I’m focusing on the evaluation of Mixon only as a player, based on film study. And on film, he’s one of the most complete NFL prospects among running backs in the draft. Based solely on film, Mixon is a better overall prospect than Florida State’s Dalvin Cook, who is projected by almost everyone to go in the first round.

    Packer's News Page Covers FSU Corner Marquez White

    This year’s talent-rich cornerback class could see as many as a half-dozen from this group of prospects selected in the first round, which certainly bodes well for the Packers, but also diverts the spotlight away from the next tier of cover men that could dramatically alter their standing on draft boards with a strong performance at the scouting combine. Among these back-end defenders is Florida State’s Marquez White, who first came to Tallahassee with the kind of hoop dreams

    Day 1 starters on any team 1) Joe Mixon, Oklahoma: Some may be surprised that the Oklahoma product is at No. 1, considering his controversial past. The off-the-field incident -- which ultimately kept him from being invited to the NFL Scouting Combine -- is a very serious issue that teams will have to examine extensively before the draft. What I know about Mixon on the football field is that he's without a doubt the best running back in this year's class. He's versatile, a goo

    UCLA Wide Receiver Kenny Walker posted a 4.29 in the 40 at his UCLA pro day. Had he been invited to the NFL combine this time would have placed him second at the WR position and third overall among NFL hopefuls. That's right, Kenny Walker is one of the three fastest men hoping to be drafted in the last weekend in April.

    Marquez White, overlooked in college, is making NFL noise

    Florida State cornerback Marquez White has remained largely enigmatic nationally for the last two seasons. That is a blessing and a curse that comes when opponents ignore you. White’s career at FSU will end Dec. 30 when the No. 11 Seminoles play No. 6 Michigan in the Capital One Orange Bowl, and it will likely end quietly, which is appropriate. The Alabama native doesn’t necessarily love the lack of attention, but at the same time, being overlooked is somewhat of a badge of h
