Texas vs The Nation Update

For those of you who thought that the all star season was over due to the Senior Bowl, I hate to break it but ya thought wrong. There is one game left, Texas vs The Nation. The concept is place to collegeiate all stars originally from Texas or who played college football in Texas verus the rest of the nation. The usually doesn't feature the same caliber of draft talent as the Senior Bowl or Shrine Game, but nice late round picks are going to be available.

For those keeping track of the practices, the fellas over at Draftguys.com have been doing excellent coverage. Keep checking back their for updates.

Texas

The most interesting player to watch is Wyoming RB Devin Moore. Moore is undersized, but exceptionally quick. He can cut on a dime, and should be available in fifth round. He will likely cut out a nice role in the NFL as a backup running back and return specialist.

Watch list: QB David Johnson (Tulsa), RB Chris Ogbonnnaya (Texas), OL Dallas Reynolds (BYU), DE Rulon Davis (California), DE/LB Ian Campbell (Kansas State), K Jose Martinez (UTEP)

Nation

FAU linebacker Frantz Joseph is not getting much respect after a highly productive season. He is a limited athlete, but plays the kind of smart, aggressive, and instinctive football that could make him a huge steal. Look for Joseph to be as drafted as high as the fourth round.

Watch List: Dahna Delestin S/LB (Connecticut), DT Khalif Mitchell (East Carolina), CB Joe Burnett (Central Florida), TE Ryan Purvis (Boston College), RB Branden Ore (West Liberty State).
