Fab Five Invite

Southern California teammates Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart head a list of 5 players who have reportedly accepted invitations to attend the 2006 draft in New York. Bush and Leinart will be joined at the Radio City Music Hall which will be hosting the draft on the 29th and 30th later this month, by Texas QB Vince Young, North Carolina State DE Mario Williams and Virginia OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson. Reportedly, the NFL hopes to add at least one more defensive prospect to the list – most likely Ohio State LB A.J. Hawk - but nothing has yet been confirmed.

A source close to the situation said that the Eagles would be bringing in Notre Dame wide receiver Maurice Stovall to meet with their personnel staff. The graduate of Archbishop Carroll High School is projected to be drafted in the second or third round.

Latest word is that the Cleveland Browns, who pick No. 12 in the April 29 NFL draft, and the Philadelphia Eagles, who pick No. 14, have Florida State linebacker Ernie Sims in their sights.
If Sims is taken before Minnesota gets a chance, it wouldn't be surprising if the Vikings, who have the No. 17 pick, offer the pick to the Atlanta Falcons for 24-year-old backup quarterback Matt Schaub.
