I second the Sammie Lee Hill suggestion. Sounds like a good kid, highly motivated, very athletic. Has great size. Also played a lot of basketball.

Here's another link with more info:

Frantz Joseph(ILB-Florida Atlantic) - I've never seen this guy play, but some of the web sites have good things to say about him:


From draftguys.com ...
Frantz Joseph(ILB-Florida Atlantic) - Joseph is flat out fun to watch. He plays with a natural violence that would fit in with players like Ray Lewis and Jack Lambert, and he’ll blow up running backs and offensive lineman with the same zest and effectiveness. He looked good against the pass today, using body position to cover faster RBs, and breaking well on the ball in flight and timing his breakups to avoid penalties.


From footballdraftanalysis.com ...
Frantz Joseph ILB 6'2 235 Florida Atlantic
Joseph started college off at Boston College, but then transferred to FAU
after his Freshman year. Last season as a Junior, he set the single season
Tackle record for FAU with 131. This was also the best in the Conference.
While his numbers are impressive, it is the Sunbelt. So, he'll be underrated.
He's a very active player who can lay the wood. He's on pace to be one of
the top tacklers in the nation once again.

Henry Melton - DE - Texas 6'3" 280lb. He was a former rb that injured his knee
at Texas. Played behind 2 highly touted 1st rounders. Orakpo this year. And,
Sergio Kindle next year. They have his 40 time at 4.79. I thought he looked very
good against Ohio St in the Fiesta Bowl. Keith "Tractor" Traylor started out as a
rb and ate himself into a NG. Maybe, Melton can put on another 15-20 lbs and play
de in our scheme. Or, get in better shape and be an edge pass-rusher and special teams
deomon. I'm curious to see workouts at the Combine if he's invited. Nephew
of former NFL player Ray Crockett. Who always thought he was better suited for
defense than rb. 7th round. Matt Cassel type projection. College backup but appears
to have size/speed to play in the NFL.

Good looking kid for MLB in a 4-3, I watched him in FAU's bowl game and he's playing Saturday in Texas vs The Nation. He'd need to work on taking on OL for the 3-4, I'll be watching to see if he shows me more in Saturday's game than I saw in his bowl game.

Glad you mentioned him, was trying to remember this guy. Second the Rodney Jr part, made alot of tackles with pop. Did play alot at the LOS.

Maybe the 236 is a typo, if the 6' part is right hard to believe he got that big,,

Box_O_Rocks

No typo, NFL Draft Scout provided a spread sheet to download and had a note about his being 22 lbs heavier than TCU had reported. There's a couple items on his hitting in the TX v Nation thread links.

Hodge is a well known sleeper -- here's why:

Thank you Box. I think CBS College Sports channel is part of Comcast sports package, hopefully I'll be able to watch Texas vs The Nation game.

The trade can't be facilitated until that time, but the Patriots can negotiate with other teams and allow Cassel to negotiate with potential trade partners.

This was kinda how I pictured it happening in a best case scenario. I bet BB has been talking with a lot of people at the Senior Bowl as well as the next few weeks. I hope pulls the trigger early in FA. If Kurt Warner wins the big game this weekend then I would say that Arizona will hold on to the best FA QB out there. Kerry Collins and Jeff Garcia are serviceable QB's but not Cassel. It will be interesting to see if a team wants to shore up their QB situation before FA heats up but defiantly before the draft.
