One of the more intriguing prospects in this year's draft is Tennessee State
cornerback Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie, who was the star of the Senior Bowl.
Rodgers-Cromartie is rising up draft boards because of an uncanny
combination of height -- he's 6-2, although just 184-pounds -- and
athleticism.
He was the Ohio Valley Conference indoor track champion in the 60-meter dash
(6.89) seconds, long jump (25-feet, 3/4 inches) and high jump (6-9 1/2).
It also doesn't hurt that Cromartie said he's the first cousin of San Diego
Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who led the NFL in interceptions
this season.
Rodgers-Cromartie said that he has met with the Patriots and that it went
well, even though the team put him on the spot.
"They were the first team that made me draw something up with them, do
something like that. It threw me off-guard a little bit," said
Rodgers-Cromartie. "I was expecting to answer personal questions like
everybody else was asking me and then you get 'Draw a defense up for me'
and it threw me off guard."
Cromartie, who answered every question by first addressing the reporter
as "Sir" or "Ma'am," said he drew up a Cover-2 scheme because it was easy.

Al Gore's movie IS an opinion (or more accurately a political device), and
there's very little 'scientific evidence' in it.
