Auburn Alum



The recent NFL draft brought many new and interesting prospects into the league. Who really cares about anyone but the redskins picks though; we got a cornerback and a quarter back. Both players are from Auburn, who went 13-0-0 last season. Jason Campbell is a 6' 4", 223 pound quarterback who has, "got a lot of knowledge of the game," and feels comfortable running several different types of offenses. Campbell is a particularly interesting pick-up considering the weekness displayed at the quarterback position last season. While Gibbs still plans to play next season with Ramsey as our starting quarterback, the new addition should be interesting to follow. The second pick-up is a cornerback named Carlos Rogers. Gibbs really likes Rogers' play at Auburn, and feels that the addition of the young back will help our defensive line attack more effectively by alliviating some of the we

aknesses in our current backfield. Gibbs said "I think both these guys understand team--and they are team players, thats a big deal for [the skins]." Over all I like the pick-ups that we made this draft, good team players who are ready to make a difference on an NFL team is what the skins need.
