Rule #3: You are a Bruin for four years, but a Trojan for life

Here's a look at how some of the newest Trojans in the NFL are doing:

  • After his well-publicized criticism of Pete Carroll after the draft, Taylor Mays is now making headlines in San Fransisco for more positive reasons. The 49er's safety has been focusing on playing the ball and not the receiver with some good results.
  • The New Orleans Saints are not just excited about snatching up offensive tackle Charles Brown in the second round but they are comparing him to......running back Deuce McAllister. But don't expect Brown to be carrying the rock any time soon, this has more to do with what his presence could mean for trade talks surrounding Jamal Brown than a position change.
  • Wide receiver Damian Williams already has Tennessee Titans coaches salivating over his potential impact on punt and kick returns, but there's a chance he could find early play time as a receiver as well. GM Mike Reinfeldt is already on record as saying he could eventually become the Titans number one receiver.
  • Colts fans seem split on corner back Kevin Thomas. Some say he was a reach in the third round. This fan thinks otherwise.
  • Defensive end Everson Griffen says he's happy in Minnesota with the Vikings and ready for the transition from college life to life as a professional.

    I think Damian will do well in the NFL. Tennessee is a ground-heavy team, but you don't have to be in the Run-N-Shoot to succeed as a WR. For selfish reasons I wish he stayed, though.

    It's now or never for Griffen. I hope he succeeds and helps the Vikings a lot.

    Great blog, keep up the good work!

    I think that just by virtue of being a Trojan, our graduates will tend to do incredibly well in everything they do. Whether or not that's incredible success a la the aforementioned players...

    ....or incredible stupidity a la a certain exasperating basketball player.

    But hey, better famous or infamous than trance-inducing mediocrity.. *coughbruinscoughcough*
