A big bodied red zone target at 6'0" 193? That's not Rector, he's a vertical threat.

Yeah that article is just poorly-written.  The grammar/spelling typos are still there.

Buried at the end of the page:

• Stanford receiver Francis Owusu. A great athlete who ran a 4.34 in the 40 at his Pro Day, with a 39-inch vertical jump. The 6-3 Owusu caught just eight passes for 113 yards (a 14.1 average) in six games last season and 34 for 482 in his career, with three touchdowns.

http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-co...60184.html

The article leads off with some details on the Miami WR situation: two roster slots for six men, plus Owusu now.  Pretty crowded.  I'm surprised more hay wasn't made of Owusu's 4.34 40-yd time.  That's pretty good.  Wish Stanford could have showcased that some more.

Slightly OT (and 2 days old) but still shaking my head at this one.

Did Bears even need to trade up to land Mitchell Trubisky?

The QB came at a steep price, and it’s not clear Chicago even had to pay it.

It seems clear that John Lynch did a masterful job on this.

Lynch has publicly given the credit for the trade to oft maligned EVP Paraag Marathe (another Stanford man), though how much of that is true and how much is just Lynch playing politics will probably never be known.

Stanford GSB but Cal undergrad so we can't objectively claim total credit!

The Bears seem to be trying to replace the Browns as poster children of ineptitude.  Of course if Trubisky is great then I'll have to eat my words.  However . . .
