Brandon Mosley for getting picked by the Champion NY Giants. In the 4th Round. Pick 131.

He'll probably be the only Auburn player drafted, unless the Long Snapper gets picked up.

Is it bad that I'm hoping Neiko Thorpe gets selected as Mr. Irrelevant?

Why would that be bad?  That said, Thorpe won't be drafted.

As for the long snapper...if he gets drafted, it will likely be 7th round.

Dude went from DE/TE in JUCO, to 4th round draft pick at OT in 2 years.  That's pretty impressive.

He was one of the main reasons why Auburn won the National Championship, as was AJ Greene. RT AJ Greene getting hurt during the Clemson game and first year OLineman Brandon Mosley replacing him.  That's how much depth Auburn had along the OL for the 2010 Season.

Good for Neiko.  Hope he can at least make it on the practice squad.

Falcon's LS has been in the league for 14 years.  Minimum base salary for 10+ years in the NFL is $925K.  Rookie's is $390K.   I think Josh may have landed a 6 figure job  right out of college.

Hall of Fame and an out-of-work bum smell a lot alike, Daddy.

Question.  Does this officially end the positive and negative effects of Tuberville's recruiting efforts?  2010 says credit where credit is due.  Senior dominated O-line, D-line and linebacking corp. with guys like Terrell Zacahary and Darvin Adams making huge impacts.  Can't ask for more than a National Championship.  Kudos!!  Fast forward to 2012.  One player drafted in the 4th round.  Not trying to beat a dead horse.  It's just that this draft really tells the story on his last year or two at Auburn.

Agree.

BTW, whether they were Wingnut's recruits helping or not (and the impact on 2010), Chiz did something with them that Tubs could not. Win. I said the same thing when people said Miles won with Saban's recruits. Well, Miles won more with them than Saban did didn't he?

You're right.  Tuberville just couldn't win.  Couldn't beat anybody.

Did he change his mind?  I thought he said something about not working out for the pros and moving on from foosballz.  Are I confruzed?

I recall that as well. I guess Tuberville recruits are just that good that they can go to the NFL on a whim.

Former Auburn offensive lineman A.J. Greene changes tune, signs free agent deal with Chicago
Published: Monday, April 30, 2012, 3:19 PM
By Charles Goldberg/Auburn Bureau, The Birmingham News, Press-Register, and The Huntsville Times

AUBURN, Alabama -- A.J. Greene has had a change of heart and will now give pro football a shot.

The former Auburn offensive lineman, who turned down a chance to go to the NFL Combine in March to pursue a career in music, signed a free agent deal with the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Greene didn't go through Auburn's Pro Day workouts, either, but still landed a chance with the Bears.

He's the fourth Auburn player to line up for the NFL since the draft. Offensive lineman Brandon Mosley was drafted in the fourth round by the New York Giants. He was followed as free agents by snapper Josh Harris, with Atlanta; defensive back Neiko Thorpe, with Kansas City; and linebacker Eltoro Freeman, who was invited to Green Bay's rookie tryout camp.

Missed that The Bull is going to Green Bay's rookie camp.

Mother Fucker!!!! Next, you'll tell me that the Bears also picked up Mark Pera to shore up their Oline.

Well, I hope they have more than 3 backup QBs.
