Some thoughts...
- Do not question the acumen of Mel Kiper, Jr.! Perhaps the most entertaining part of this video is the argument that ensues following the St. Louis Rams drafting Lawrence Phillips at #6. To summarize: Joe saw no reason to discount the "best player in the draft" due to his off the field problems; Mel did. Just goes to show you that you should be wary of punditry coming from a man who changed his name so it would rhyme with Heisman.
- Is there any question that Tommie Frazier gets a shot in today's NFL? Is there any question as to whether or not he would be drafted on the first day? Granted this is entirely selective coverage of that draft, but it certainly seems like this was THE question heading into the draft.
- There seemed to be little question as to whether or not Berringer was going to get a shot despite running the same system as Frazier. Granted there was the blood clot issue, but was "the black quarterback" still that much of a stigma in 1996?

Nice video. Besides Tommie Frazier's awesomeness - how about Mike Tirico's afro. Sweet.
Or how about the fact that Theisman and Tirico look almost exactly the same. Is that timelessness or stubbornness?
How about Chris Fowler? Good God - that was 10 years ago and I think he looks older there than he does today. He is 35 going on 34.
PEDs, my friend. PEDs.
You saw him in that weightlifting ad for Gameday last season.
Fowler could start at linebacker for the Buffs right now. (And he could definitely start at linebacker for Nebraska. Are we just going to hold open student body tryouts for LB, or what?)
