NFL DRAFT 2008


Kansas junior LT Anthony Collins has confirmed that he has decided to join close friend and Wildcats' CB Aqib Talib and declare for the 2008 draft. The 6-5, 310-pound Collins, a late-blloer with 5.10 speed over 40 yards, was projected as a 3rd round pick by the NFL's draft advisory committee....

Texas redshirt sophomore TE Jeremichael Finley has reportedly told school officials that he will be entering the 2008 draft. Finley is the second Texas underclassmen to make the decision joining junior RB Jamaal Charles in applying for this year's draft. Finley is also the first non-junior to declare for this year's draft. The 6-5, 240-pound Finley caught 45 passes for 575 yards in 2007....

Family sources close to both of junior CBs Aqib Talib of Kansas and Branden Flowers of Virginia Tech have indicated that both have decided to forego their final years of eligibility and declare for the NFL. Both had consulted with the NFL’s special draft advisory committee and both were reportedly told they would likely be second round picks this coming April. Ironically, the duo also faced each other in this year’s Orange Bowl in which Talib’s 60-yard TD return of an interception was the key play in the Jayhawks upset victory.
