Some NFL team will get a Choice bargain
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tashard Choice doesn’t have first-round speed, but he’s got first-round heart. I think some NFL team will get a bargain when they draft him. He’s the kind of guy who will do what it takes to make a contribution, and his attitude has got to be a plus for any locker room.
The NFL draft is a strange weekend for a guy like me who covers college football. It’s always interesting to see what the pros think of the players I’ve covered and/or followed over the years. And it’s always interesting to me to see what the pros get right (Calvin Johnson) and what they get wrong (James Butler, who went from undrafted free agent to starting 12 games for last year’s Super Bowl champions).
I’m curious to see where Gary Guyton and Philip Wheeler will fit in, and of course Durant Brooks, and I’m wondering if some other Tech player might turn into the next Butler, Michael Matthews or George Cooper, finding a job in the NFL after not finding favor on draft day.
