But when I got up there I saw it wasn't for me." -Matthew Thomas Yep, Coley had nothing to do with his commitment. It sounds like you know what you're talking about...

Dwight Freeney has a shadow that will loom large in Indianapolis. In 11 seasons as an Indianapolis Colt, the Syracuse alum racked up 107.5 sacks and was oftentimes the lone star on defenses that were habitually outshined by Peyton Manning's offense.

The NFL Draft plays out in funny ways sometimes. Headed into the 2012 season Matt Barkley and Landry Jones seemed the odds-on favorites to be the first quarterbacks drafted.
