Chicago Bears head
coach Lovie Smith is excited about bringing the young talent of the college
football star who excelled across town in Evanston, Illinois to Soldier Field
in Chicago where the Bears play. The inclement weather sustained during many
outdoor professional football games in Chicago has for decades encouraged the
local NFL team to emphasize the defensive side of the ball Donald Driver Jersey. There are high
hopes in the windy city that Corey will continue the tradition of excellent
defensive players that have long been the signature aspect of the Chicago Bears
franchise.
Mike Kafka was
selected by the Philadelphia Eagles to play for a team that recently opened a
void at the starting quarterback position when they sent long time successful
signal caller Donavon McNabb to the conference rival Washington Redskins during
the off season. While expectations are tempered for Kafka he will be entering
an environment where he will be able to compete with the Eagles 2007 second
round draft pick of Kevin Kolb for the starting quarterback position. As a
versatile quarterback who led the Northwestern Wildcats in rushing and passing
touchdowns in 2009 Mike should be excited about joining an established
contender in the Eagles who already have a top notch defense and ground game.
The final player
from Northwestern taken in the 2010 NFL Draft was cornerback Sherrick McManis.
Sherrick is a 6'1" 190 pound cornerback that the Houston Texans hope can
add some youth and speed to their secondary.
Under
young head coach Pat Fitzgerald the Northwestern Wildcats have reemerged as a
contender in the Big Ten Conference that is also developing a reputation for
producing NFL talent Packers pro shop. Over the past two seasons Coach Fitzgerald has turned around
the Northwestern football program that has historically been mediocre at best into a successful big time program that went 9-4
in 2008 and 8-5 in 2009.
