Tech’s Hill invited to NFL draft
Former Georgia Tech wide receiver Stephen Hill is one of 26 prospects invited to the NFL draft at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
The number of players at the draft is a record for the event. For Hill, it is one more step of a remarkable progression since declaring for the draft Jan. 5. In a draft evaluation Hill requested prior to making his decision, the opinion of NFL executives and scouts was that he didn’t have the potential to be selected in the first three rounds.
However, Hill burst up draft boards with a standout performance at the NFL draft combine, including a 40-yard dash of 4.36 seconds. Hill’s invitation to New York is virtual confirmation that Hill will go in the first round or at least early in the second. Many mock drafts project Hill to be chosen by the San Francisco 49ers with the 30th pick.
The first round of the draft is Thursday, April 26.
The complete list:
Alabama S Mark Barron
Oklahoma State WR Justin Blackmon
LSU DT Michael Brockers
LSU CB Morris Claiborne
UNC DE Quinton Coples
Mississippi State DT Fletcher Cox

Super-the FORD reference was to NASCAR allegiance…in case you dint notice, DAWG48 is a Jimmy Johnson fan (NASCAR #48 car)….I root for anyone driving a Ford….the Chevy truck I’m driving(WITH A SQUEALING BELT) is a diffrent story….the fact that 48 drives a FORD truck is TOO FUNNY

Lee He STOLE a Squirrel from a Red-tail Hawk at my sisters house. The Hawk was on the ground trying to finish the kill and he chased the hawk. The hawk tried to take off and ZO jumped up and took the squirrel from it’s talons and ate it in 3 or 4 bites.

first round of NFL draft = manic depression; recalling SH making big plays(long bomb catches- manic) and not making big plays(dropped pass completions- depressive); recalling SH making manic play against WC, and BD crowd was depressed by Tech’s light shaded numbers on the Tech jerseys(not tv crowd though); manic depression is mixed bag of nothing but bust
