Belt and the Draft
Thats really high good for the belt.
Anyone else up?
UPDATE: Tyrell Johnson (Sun Belt Defensive Player of Year) Safety from ASU goes to Minnesota at 43.
Mel Kiper called him the best safety in the draft thought he should've gone instead of Kenny Phillips from UM in 1st round.

I just don't get it lol. You got McKelvin and now Johnson both going so far in the draft. Is it me or did Rusty have plenty of success against "the best safety in the draft" and against a guy who went # 11 overall in the draft?
Against AK State: 22/42 268 yards passing, 3 TDs 2 INT
(Johnson 1 INT 37 yards)
Against Troy: 23/34 291 yards passing 2 TDs 0 INT
(McKelvin 0 int's but 4 returns 155 yards)
Against USF: 23/47 259 Yards Passing 3 TDs 1 INT
(Mike Jenkins - 0 INT)
Johnson was the only one who had mild success against Rusty this past season. Not sure what all the hype is about. Did scouts fail to see these games against FAU? lol

Aside from his size (weight which is listed as 215), why is Sincere not on any draft watch list for Linebackers? He has comparable numbers to alot of those that are currently on the list.
That's pretty light for an NFL linebacker. Most of the prospects on the ESPN list are in the 230s and 240s, some in the 220s, very very few under that. Teams will sometimes draft a player that light if they think they can convert him to a safety.

Re: Belt and the Draft
Maybe he'll sign as a FA. I expect Frantz Joseph to be drafted next year and if all goes well Rusty the year after

Re: Belt and the Draft
this is from the Dallas Morning News…
He's a 237-pound defensive end, which means he'll probably project to outside linebacker. And he's not even listed in the Pro Football Weekly draft guide.

Re: Belt and the Draft
FAU players just seem to get no attention at all despite our success. I know we didnt have a huge senior class (thank goodnes) but one would think Cerg would be getting a few looks.

Re: Belt and the Draft
Frants is 6'3" 235lbs coming into this season. If he added another 5lbs of muscle or so and stays healthy and has another monster season like we all expect he will I say he definitely gets drafted, he has good size for a LB.
Like someone else pointed out Cerg was kinda small for a LB 6'0" 215 lbs. Frantz has 3" and and about 25 lbs on him.
It all depends on how we play against these OOC teams. They were just talking about the S from Arkansas State (forget his name) and how the level of play in the Sunbelt isn't as good but he really stepped up and performed well against teams like Texas & Tennessee.
If our guys do well against these teams I expect to start seeing some of our players getting drafted over the next few years

We have others who are silent on offense, two at least.
