Q: During the suspension did you give thought of leaving Ole Miss?
A: Of course you have thoughts, missing seven games, the NCAA not returning your calls or nothing like that. You're going to have thoughts. I had to sit down with coach (Hugh) Freezeand really talk to him about it. (What made you stay?) I talked to my mother, talked to coach
Freeze. I wanted to be with my teammates.
Q: Do you pay attention to mock drafts?
A: No I don't. I try not to man.
Teams in need: Indianapolis, Seattle, Atlanta, New York Jets, and Cleveland.
Need area for Falcons? Yes. The Falcons need to add a guard. Andy Levitre makes too many penalties and Chris Chester is 33 years old.
Sleeper pick for Falcons: Joe Dahl, G, 6-4 1/8, 304 pounds, Washington State. The Falcons went to Washington State and put him through a workout. Dahl is a good fit for the Falcons outside-zone blocking scheme.
