Have to always support the local kids. His production speaks for itself but...how's his separation speed at the NFL level? How many Pats fans wanted Mike Haas?

BTW, Ball's dad is a real good guy (and father too)...very knowledgable and 100% in support of his son. I wish David the best!

Ball is not an unknown. He's been talked about on and off all year here.

He's the guy who broke Jerry Rice's collegiate TD record and tied Rice's record of 23 games with 100 yards or more receiving. Ball is also only 223 yards short of Rice's collegiate total yards record.

I think that someone could take a flyer on him in the 3rd round.

I've seen him play a few games against UMass. You can't dismiss his production, but to me, he just didn't look like an NFL caliber receiver. I think he may be similar to Mike Hass last year - an unbelievable college receiver who's game doesn't translate to the pros.

I think if he goes to the combine adn does half way decent he'll be picked up late in the draft and it's my hope that the pats take him cause that would be great

He is the 24th ranked WR and with preatty much the same 40 time as the number 2 guyso thats something at least
