Guy was solid when PR was here for 2 years. Then he got nothing much to catch the next 2 years and had to work hard to make a team. GG for keeping up.

yeah, didn't he get a real long TD from Jay Davis too, on a quick slant where he caught it 8-12 yds past scrimmage, then ran it like 50 yds for a TD and got called for excessive celebration cuz he dove into the endzone? or am i getting it confused?

Think you're talking of the 80-yarder at GT a couple of years ago.

Perfect route--split the seam between the safeties and took off down the field.

The Preseason Stage
Rookie CB A.J. Davis Looks to Showcase his Skills Against Cincinnati on Thursday
By Chrissie Wywrot
Detroitlions.com
August 7, 2007

Rookie CB A.J. Davis is preparing for his first preseason game. (Photo: Gavin Smith)

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The preseason doesn’t mean much in terms of wins and losses.

It is more an extension of training camp; a way for NFL coaches to evaluate players in a true game situation rather than a controlled team environment.

On the flip side, it is a time for players to show what they’re made of as the regular season approaches – particularly rookies who are unproven and playing against their first NFL opponent.

Rookie cornerback A.J. Davis – selected by the Lions in the fourth round of this year’s NFL Draft – is one of those players looking to showcase his skills this preseason, which begins Thursday at Ford Field.

“I’m really looking forward to Thursday’s game,” said Davis. “I know I’m going to be nervous – that’s just how I am. I’m always nervous before a game, but I play better when I’m nervous. After the first hit I’m not nervous any more. When I jog out there, it all calms down; it slows down because that’s where I feel comfortable is on the football field.”

The preseason will be important for Davis, who – as a cornerback – is part of what is possibly the most competitive position group for Detroit. Aside from ninth-year veteran Fernando Bryant, who has started at left corner for the past two seasons, the Lions have a lot of young players who are fighting for playing time and roster spots.

Still, Davis isn’t looking too far into the future and is taking things one day at a time.

“I think the whole secondary group has really helped me and the other rookies out,” said Davis. “You know, as far as if we needed something, they just talk to us during camp and when we’re tired they can relate. So that’s probably been the biggest inspiration is the older guys.”

Davis and his fellow rookies don’t just look to the veterans for advice; they also have to look to them as on-field examples.

As a rookie, Davis is expected to observe and learn, oftentimes not getting the high amounts of reps as his more experienced teammates. He may see one play out of 25 – or even 50 – but still has to stay mentally focused so he knows what to do once his number is called.

“You’ve got to watch the veterans that go before you because, sometimes, our plays are spread out,” said Davis. “We don’t get all ours in a row, so you’ve got to really stay in tune. The coach does a good job of keeping us in into the game; he’ll talk to us throughout every play.”

The mental game is quite possibly the most significant adjustment from college to the NFL and Davis is no different. Many rookies talk about how they ‘just played’ when they were in college and didn’t have to think things through as much as they simply reacted with their God-given physical talent.


Davis is looking forward to his first preseason game against Cincinnati stating, "I just want to come out and have the best game I've ever had in my life."

But all of the players in the NFL have that God-given physical talent and, therefore, a higher amount of preparation is required. Davis’ biggest challenge has been that preparation, having to translate what he learns in the classroom to what he performs on the practice field.

“I’m just learning as much as I can, (learning) how to watch film,” he said. “In the NFL it’s different as far as anticipation and everything – the difference is the different route combinations; everything is pretty much timing in the NFL.

“So I’m trying to learn so I can anticipate certain routes from certain people as far as what different players like to do.”

Detroit’s first preseason game against Cincinnati will play numerous roles for Davis. On one hand, it will be the first of four significant opportunities to show his talent against a real opponent as the Lions’ selection of the 53-man roster nears.

“I just want to come out and have the best game I’ve ever had in my life,” said Davis. “That’s how I approach every game, to have the best game I’ve ever had in my life. Definitely I want to hit; I want to show that I can play on this level. This is my first time ever playing against guys like Chad Johnson and stuff like that so I’m looking forward to that.”

On the other hand, Thursday’s game will be the beginning of a dream come true.

“I love the game of football,” he said. “I’ve been playing since I was … I can’t even remember, I probably started when I was like six down at the park in my neighborhood. I’ve been playing ever since and now it’s weird because now you actually get paid … It’s weird to get paid to play this game.

“I would play it if I didn’t get paid.”

Davis came close to the reality of playing in his first NFL game when the team traveled to Ford Field for an open practice last Saturday. An enthusiastic group of 10,486 Lions fans came out to cheer on their favorite team.

It was only a small taste of what it will be like to play in front of 60,000 screaming fans during the regular season, but Davis still couldn’t get enough of it.

“It was my first time ever in Ford Field, so it was kind of exciting,” he said. “As a matter of fact, me and (fellow rookie cornerback Ramzee Robinson) warming up – we had big old smiles on our face for the first time I was in there. It was really cool. We had a chance to really see the fans (and) that’s probably the closest I’ve been to the fans since I’ve been here.

“I’m really looking forward to Thursday’s game.”

"21 Former Pack Players on NFL Rosters
Courtesy: NC State
Release: 09/05/2007

Courtesy: NC State
http://www.gopack.com/
Torry Holt finished fourth in the NFL last season recording 93 receptions.

A total of 21 former NC State players appear on the opening day rosters of various NFL squads, with the 53-man rosters announced on September 2. Here is a brief recap on each current NFL player:

- Brian Clark, Denver Broncos- Enters his second season with the Broncos. Finished with 23 kickoff returns and 512 kickoff return yards as a rookie last season.
- Jerricho Cotchery, NY Jets- Begins his fourth season in NY. In 2006 he became the tenth player in Jets’ postseason history to record a 100-yard receiving game during a playoff loss to NE.

- Dovonte Edwards, NY Giants- Begins his first season in NY, after spending previous seasons in Minnesota.

- Terrence Holt, Arizona Cardinals- Enters first season with Cardinals as an unrestricted free agent. Spent past four seasons with Detroit Lions.

- Torry Holt, St. Louis Rams- Led Rams with 93 receptions (fourth in NFL) last season. Entering his ninth season with St. Louis.

- Oliver Hoyte, Dallas Cowboys- Going into his second season with Cowboys, he looks to become a key player. A very physical player who started six games in his 2006 campaign.

- Marcus Hudson, San Francisco 49ers- Played in all 16 games as a rookie in 2006. Looks to continue to fight for time in the secondary and on special teams during his second season with San Francisco.

- Scott Kooistra, Cincinnati Bengals- Enters fifth season in NFL, all with Cincinnati. Played in 15 games in 2006, mostly on special teams.

- Manny Lawson, San Francisco 49ers- Registered 49ers only blocked punt of the season as a rookie last season. Looks to play at outside linebacker during his second season in NFL.

- Sean Locklear, Seattle Seahawks- Has spent all four NFL seasons with Seahawks. Registered 10 starts in 2006.

- John McCargo, Buffalo Bills- Begins his second season with Buffalo. Had a season-high four tackles at Chicago last season.

- Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers- Led the Chargers to 14 wins as first-year starting quarterback in 2006, completing almost 62% of passes. Entering fourth season in NFL.

- Corey Smith, Detroit Lions- Will battle for a starting spot at defensive end. Made strong impact with Lions after signing in November of last season.

- Pat Thomas, Jacksonville Jaguars- Competing for starting linebacker position in his third season with Jacksonville. Placed on injured reserve in 2006 due to a hamstring injury.

- Stephen Tulloch, Tennessee Titans- Played in all 16 games as a rookie last season and will continue to compete for the starting middle linebacker spot in 2007.

- Brian Williams, Jacksonville Jaguars- Started 15 games in 2006 at right corner. Finished last season with 63 tackles, one forced fumble and one interception.

- Mario Williams, Houston Texans- Houstons only defensive lineman to start every game last season. Had 4.5 sacks for 20.5 yards, a franchise rookie-record.

- Adrian Wilson, Arizona Cardinals- Begins seventh season with Arizona after earning first Pro Bowl berth in 2006. Became the first defensive player in NFL history to record two touchdowns of 99+ yards in one season.

- John Deraney, Detroit Lions- Entering his rookie season in NFL, currently on injured reserve list.

- Leroy Harris, Tennessee Titans- Begins first season in NFL. Looking to make an impact at center.

- Tank Tyler, Kansas City Chiefs- A third round selection in NFL Draft. Physical player who looks for playing time at defensive tackle.

Also add Mike Warren to that list--he was a wolfpacker at one time. Some walk on at State that never touched the field, then transferred to Elon and played two seasons I think, got kicked out, was on the practice squad for someone (possibly chargers) and signed a one year contract with the Chargers in April, but got cut.

Tory and PRiv are two of the best representatives our school has produced (in the sports world). They are both amazing athletes, but also speak like educated individuals, carry themselves with respect, and NEVER bring any type of negative press to the university.
Both are amazing and I am happy to say that I was State with both of them

I love Adrian Wilson...Pro Bowler with 2 td 99+yards...nasty

Quote :
"SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Linebacker Manny Lawson will miss the rest of the San Francisco 49ers' season after tearing a ligament in his left knee.

Lawson, a starting outside linebacker in the 49ers' 3-4 defensive scheme, went down with the injury during Wednesday's practice. The injury didn't initially appear to be serious, and Lawson rode on a stationary bike for the rest of the team's workout.

But tests determined Thursday that Lawson tore his anterior cruciate ligament.

Lawson is second on the team with 14 tackles, showing impressive improvement from his rookie year. He started 11 games last season after San Francisco chose him with the 22nd overall selection, making 65 tackles and 2 1/2 sacks.

Veteran Hannibal Navies and seldom-used second-year pro Parys Haralson are the top candidates to replace Lawson."
