Representatives from five NFL teams gathered in Denton, Texas at the University of North Texas’ Apogee Stadium — which opened in 2011 — to watch 20 athletes work out on FieldTurf.

William Atterberry, punter (5-foot-9 5/8, 216 pounds) — Atterberry ran the 40-yard dash in 5.00 seconds. He punted the ball well and with good hang time. Atterberry has a chance to be a rookie free-agent pickup following the 2013 NFL Draft.

I would think there is a great chance of this happening for Will...seems odd to have him referred to as William...I think Will has earned the right to get a shot.

Go get 'em Will...the Mean green Nation is in your corner!

Grant...when did Gil Brandt become "late"? If so, you might want to give him a call and let him know! (-:

That's a Deion Sanders joke made famous byThe Ticket.

I really hope he ends up making it in the NFL. That being said, there are 32 punters in the entire world on NFL rosters, and they play until they're 40. Punter and kicker are probably the 2 hardest positions to make it to the NFL for that reason. There are a few teams that'll carry 2 kickers, but nobody carries 2 punters. Not saying its impossible, but he's definitely fighting an uphill battle. I hope it works out for him, but Power and Fortenberry have the best shot of the guys that just graduated.

I really think Atterberry gets on a NFL roster by seaaon's end. I think we will miss him more than some may think

Great kid , pulling for him !

Agree. I never like to punt, but I did enjoy watching him kick the ball the last couple of years.

      Let’s start with Odom as our interim DC. I heard he was also interim DC for USC not long ago? Anyone know what’s his story?

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!
