What's up everybody. I'm Wade Peery, a 24-year old student at Ohio University, where I only have a few classes left until I graduate! Finally.

I'm constantly learning more about the game. I love talking to people so don't be afraid to give me a shout on here if you like my articles. It's always cool to see that people enjoy reading my
What I'm Reading
I don't read books too much, but I love reading Stewart Mandel of cnnsi.com, the college football writer for cbs.sportsline.com, and many others. I like reading Jeff White of the Richmond Times Dispatch--he's an excellent beat writer for Virgina football.

Sure, we might not be able to tell the “true value” of any of the prospects from the 2009 NFL Draft three to four years down the road, but it’s simply too much fun to analyze who the winners and who the losers were.

So let’s get down to it shall we!... Read Full Story

Michael Crabtree--WR--Texas Tech--Out of all the prospects in the 2009 NFL Draft, Crabtree is easily the biggest "can't miss" prospect. He's a lock to be a future star and a future all-pro receiver for several years. He's blessed with excellent hands, precise route running, and has a knack for his ability to put his ass on opposing defe... Read Full Story
