Re: UNI guys in the NFL

Quentin Scott apparently cut from the Bears. Strange the bears cut 2-3 safeties considering they are a bit thin in that position.

How are you Trapped? Hope your Chicago trip went well.

I doubt that QS was anything more than a practice squad candidate anyway. He didn't play much in the last preseason game - not a good sign. They should be announcing the practice squad roster very soon.

Saw Brad Meester at center for Jacksonville last night, unfortunately he was part of their terrible loss.

They said he set the franchise record for most starts, I believe. Good stuff and always fun to hear Panthers being mentioned on t.v.

Also interesting that Aaron Kampman and him get to play on the same NFL team.

He's a starter in the league, and a quality one at that. You don't play that many games and be just average. I've heard him mentioned for Pro Bowl selection in the past, but can't remember if he made it. Regardless, just being a starter makes him light years ahead of his college peers, and/or the multitude of OL who played at Florida, USC, Ohio State, etc. who all have regular Joe Blow jobs like the rest of us.

Agree...another thought usually only 2-3 centers are drafted each yr....

According to the team site, he started in every game he has played since he was a rookie in 2000 (he missed games to injury in 2005,2007 and 2008). To walk in as a rookie and start is impressive, especially at center.

Broncos are currently starting two rookies on the O-Line, one at center and one at RT. No wonder their running game sucks.

He would probably have a Pro-Bowl or two if the Jags were better. Unfortunately, the C can't throw, run or catch the ball.

Actually, they can catch the ball, but only on a deflection (off an opponent or an official).

I think they can also receive a lateral or backwards handoff, but I'm not sure on that one.
