#5, Michael Hawkins went to OU and played his freshman season. OU wouldn't let him go home to see his son as promised and he quit and played for the Dallas Desperados a year later. Then signed with Green Bay and played with them for 2 or 3 seasons and got cut. Now he's in camp for the Browns.

Others I noticed just glancing over the list.

#38 Jeremy Wariner, I think we all know his story, went to Baylor for track, won an Olympic gold medal in the 200. I haven't checked but he's got to still be #1 or #2 in the world in the 200?

#3. Larry Dibbles, signed with Texas. All conference DT as a junior, Senior season played on the computerized national champion team. Was invited to the combine in '06 and worked out as a free agent for N.O. but doesn't show to have made a team.

#53. Quinton Echols, signed and starred for K State. Honorable mention all big 12 in '06.

In other news, my girlfriend's seen him naked after he got drunk, stripped off his clothes, and ran around an apartment courtyard. He then sat on her recliner and she didn't tell me this until I sat in it.

I hate her so much.

And yes, Quinn's leaving may be making me like ladies again. He's stronger than nature vs. nurture...
