However, some lesser known players looking to get drafted not only put their names on the scouting radar, but also their agents. North Carolina running back T.J. Logan put his name on the map thanks to his 4.37 second […]
Per Liz Mullen, former Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon was not invited to the 2017 NFL Combine.

I am in Orange County where later today I will be sitting on a Sports Law panel at Chapman Law School. I flew into Los Angeles yesterday, had a couple of very productive meetings and caught up with some friends I have not seen in some time. Then it is back to Miami early tomorrow […]
