Mel Kiper and JaMarcus RussellESPN draft guru Mel Kiper was raving about a quarterback who he projected as the top pick in the NFL Draft. 

Kiper went on and on regarding the QB’s ability to immediately energize the fanbase and locker room of his new team.

“Three years from now, you could be looking at a guy that's certainly one of the elite top five quarterbacks in this league. You're talking about a 2-3 year period, once he's under center. Look out because the skill level that he has is certainly John Elway-like," explained Kiper.

No, he was not talking about Andrew Luck; the quotes come from the 2007 draft, when Kiper was waxing poetic about Oakland Raiders bust JaMarcus Russell.

Vontaze Burfict signs with Bengals, Alfonzo Dennard drafted by PatriotsIt was a great weekend for the more than 230 players who were selected in the 2012 NFL Draft, but a not so hot one for two players who were in total free fall.

Linebacker Vontaze Burfict of Arizona State was projected as a late first round draft choice six months ago. Unfortunately for Burfict, he earned himself numerous red flags during a disastrous offseason, leading up to the NFL combine in February, where he performed very poorly. 

The LA area native went undrafted during the three-day New York City extravaganza, instead signing as an undrafted free agent with none other than the Cincinnati Bengals.

Antonio Cromartie wife sonogramNFL statisticians were recently sent scurrying, following a sonogram photo posted on Twitter by the wife of the Jets Antonio Cromartie. The image suggests she is pregnant with identical twins. 

The cornerback already has sired ten children (including four three-year-olds), with eight different women in five states. 

After all, a defensive back does have to cover a lot of ground.

Even Cromartie has trouble remembering all his children and their names--- his two youngest are son Jagger and daughter Jurzie. 

Cromartie's personal depth chart makes him a strong candidate for the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Tuesday, Griffin was honored with a bust of himself by his new sponsor Subway. The bust was entirely made from barbecue chicken and various sandwich toppings.  His hair was composed of peppers and his teeth were made of garlic. 

Here is the horrific sculpture from a New York City Subway store.
