How did we get him? Is he on scholarship? Played well.

It's that time again. Time to take a sneak peek at some of the better "senior" college football prospects for the upcoming season. Today, we look at some of the top prospects from the Sun Belt Conference. As always, doing a list this short, we could not include all worthy players. Don't expect a lot of these players to be drafted. But as always, several top Sun Belt prospects will likely emerge as legitimate NFL prospects. Huge Louisiana Lafayette offensive tackle Brandon Cox has been on the NFL's radar since his sophomore season. Speedy North Texas wide receiver Johnny Quinn doubles as track star for the Mean Green. Quinn will sort of remind fans of former ULL star Brandon Stokley, who's gone on to NFL fame and fortune. QB Josh Padrick ~ Florida International RB Eugene Gross ~ Middle Tennessee State FB Aaron Sanchez ~ Florida Atlantic WR Johnny Quinn ~ North Texas WR Smokey Hampton ~ Troy State TE Samuel Smith ~ Florida International C Tanner Jenkins ~ Arkansas State OL Nello Faulk ~ Florida Atlantic OG Dylan Lineberry ~ North Texas OT Germayle Franklin ~ Middle Tennessee State OT Brandon Cox ~ UL Lafayette DE Anthony Hills ~ UL Lafayette DE Antwan Barnes (OLB) ~ Florida International DT Marshall Delesdernier ~ UL Lafayette LB J.K.

Waters signs six-year extensionChiefs guard makes deal without agentBy ELIZABETH MERRILLThe Kansas City StarIn this time of uncertainty for the Chiefs’ offensive line, one thing is certain — Brian Waters will be in Kansas City for a while. Waters, a two-time Pro Bowl guard, has agreed to a six-year contract extension. Chiefs president/general manager Carl Peterson said Tuesday that the deal was quietly struck in November, with no agents and apparently little haggling. Waters fired his agent roughly a year ago, and when he missed offseason workouts last summer, it was speculated that he was staying away because of contract issues. It turns out he saved a big hunk of money by negotiating on his own, though the Chiefs, per team policy, declined to give terms of the deal. “I think it’s only smart to retain your own best players first, and then if you have the money and the cap dollars (remaining) to go after free agents,” Peterson said. “You don’t want those guys to ever get to the last year of their contract for fear that you might lose them to free agency. “It gives us continuity for the future of the offensive line.” Waters, who was cut by Dallas as a rookie in 1999, was picked up roughly six months later by Kansas City and blossomed into one of the NFL’s elite at left guard. He made his first Pro Bowl in 2004, and the Chiefs have had the league’s No. 1 offense the last two seasons. Waters is the link between the line’s decorated past and its future. With 11-time Pro Bowl guard Will Shields pondering retirement, and Pro Bowl tackle Willie Roaf approaching his final years, Waters will be called upon to help bring along the younger linemen. Shields is expected

what position? any more info on him?

I just talked to Dan Shonka from Ourlads Draft Guide and he thinks he is a Free Agent pickup for someone like Awasom last year. He credits this to Cobbs small size and those backs tend to not last long in the league. He compared Cobbs to Fred Russell last year who went undrafted from Iowa and who had a great career there.

Falcons released him today.

wilson is the guy who left. was on the transactions page on cnnsi.

Tim Jankovich former UNT Head Basketball coach was hired at Illinois as an assistant basketball coach. Tim was the coach here when I went to school and I worked on his radio show. Great guy. Congrats!
