Heading into the combines, the biggest story will definitely beMaurice Clarett, and how he can rebound from last year'sdisaster. Regardless of how his combine goes, keep in mind thatbefore Adrian Peterson this year, Clarett was the best freshmanrunning back in decades. If Clarett goes past the first day ofthe draft he will be a steal. Speaking of the Draft; LB Derrick Johnson out of Texas is myfavorite player coming out this year. He will have an immediateimpact, especially if he goes to the right team. I also thinkthat QB Jason Campbell maybe a sleeper, I don't think he shouldgo before Alex Smith or Aaron Rogers, but I think he could makea good down the road NFL quarterback.

He did a Dr. J, hejumped 'over'it was actually more 'by' than over. The 'Niquejersey was a nice touch, but really he just redid a...
