As for the ALL AMERICAN BOWL (11th year), the selection process will likely be completed in the next 24 hours or so. The well established ALL AMERICAN BOWL is in the first year of a totally revised and expanded format....as the game has taken on an entirely new purpose. What was already a very well organized and managed event with a stellar track record...has now become an outstanding series of specialized events (games)....with the first one being the FREE AGENT ALL AMERICAN BOWL in Las Vegas, Nevada at Sam Boyd Stadium (April 1, 2006...12:05 kickoff). Since we recently started the nomination process, a number of nominee's have already signed professional contracts. Conversely, a number of others will likely sign contracts in the near term....but whether a player signs or not...has no bearing on the nomination process. Here are two cases in point: (1) Some players receive a lower secoondary offer, but then get a higher tier offfer thereafter (example: Player has an AF2 offer but then receives a CFL offer)...(2) If a player has signed....thats only a camp invitation...and he obviously is subject to being released...so for these two reasons, we leave the nomination process in tact for the FREE AGENT ALL AMERICAN BOWL.. Adjustments can and will be made, right up until report date. However, with that being said, we expect the vast majority of the roster to be in place within a matter of days. As players are nominated, then register, slected and then confirmed...we will selectively feature them in our reports. This is only a quick overview, but will soon detail the workouts as well as the ALL AMERICAN BOWL series, and their specific functions in creating an evaluation platform...as well as a "pool" of recently evaluated, "battle tested" Free Agents.

Has the potential to be a 300 pounder with 4.85/4.90 type speed....has tremendous strength...benching 225 X 30 and maxing out at 440 lbs...strong hands and grip...shows the quickness & footwork to be a solid 2 gap DT...but has seen a lot of reps at the DE position in college and the minor leagues...and has the quickness to see spot duty at defensive end at the next level...needs to work on the finer details of the position(s)...but is only going to get better with reps/coaching...once he learns to use his hands more effectively...and develops a few more "tools"...he has the potential to develop into a solid pro prospect. At this point, a team that invests the time/effort, could reap the benefit of an impact player not so far down the road.
