Tuesday - April 25 - on “The Opening Drive†on SIRIUS NFL Radio, hosts Bob Papa and Randy Cross spoke with Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel, who talked about the interest the Patriots have shown in several Buckeye prospects.
Jim Tressel: “The thing about Bobby [Carpenter], he’s so bright. He watched his dad coach all that time. He’s a very intelligent kid. Along with the 6’3â€, 255 pounds and whatever he runs, 4.58 or whatever, he played defensive end for us. He can play Sam. He can play Mike. He’s just so bright. And great ball skills. We even moved him to tight end a little bit when we had some injuries and he caught balls. He brings a lot to the table and I think he’s going to surprise some people in the NFL because [he’s] a little bit in the shadow of A.J. [Hawk] from collegiate hype, but a special player.â€
Bob Papa: “Sounds like the kind of player that the New England Patriots love, huh?â€
Randy Cross: “I was going to say that he sounds like a young Mike Vrabel.â€
Tressel: “You know, it’s interesting. The Patriots have spent a lot of time here. I think they like him a lot. I think they like Santonio Holmes. I think they like Nick Mangold. Obviously everyone loves A.J. Hawk but he’ll be long gone when they draft. But the Patriots, heck, they’ve had probably 4 or 5 or 6 different coaches here along, of course, with their personnel department. I think Bobby would be a good fit in their scheme.â€
I found this interesting......But I know we took Manny Lawson first round
