Jets Bubba Franks (2000, 14th OVR): Franks had a good college career at Miami and is known as a strong and consistent blocker. He had success early in his career making 3 Pro Bowls in his first 4 seasons. However, the emergence of Donald Lee in Green Bay (the team Franks was drafted by) forced him to be released.
Giants Jeremy Shockey (2002, 14th OVR): Shockey has had an excellent career with the Giants as the 4-time Pro Bowler. Shockey has nice & soft hands and is a consistent blocker as well. However, a season-ending injury in 2007 forced him to miss his team's Super Bowl win. Shockey may be traded.
Browns Kellen Winslow II (2004, 6th OVR): Winslow Jr. had a brilliant college career at the U. Injuries forced Winslow to a slow pro start, but now has shown he is following in the footsteps of his father, who was also an excellent tight end with the Chargers.
Bills Kevin Everett (2005, 86th OVR): Everett had a good and promising career at the U. However, injury concerns forced Everett into the 3rd round. Injuries have hurt Everett pro career as well.
Bears Greg Olsen (2007, 31st OVR): Olsen was a versatile tight end at the U, and even though many considered Zach Miller to be the best tight end of the 2007 Draft (went in the 2nd round to Oakland), Olsen went prior and played well towards the latter half of the 2007 NFL season.
Great question! Its remarkable how they constantly produce talent in Miami. (as a Gator fan, I hate that they don't share the wealth) Its hard to just specify TEs alone...look at the big names coming out of the U.
Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Michael Irvin, Warren Sapp, Clinton Portis, Edgerrin James, Frank Gore....damn I can go on and on!! Before it was only QBs...Jim Kelly, Testaverde, Bernie Kosar...
I think the Florida oranges are a little bit sweeter in Miami! lol....
Penn St. is known for the linebackers..USC known for running backs. I need to find a scientific point of view...
Brown has millions of fans on my current dating site ' BLEEP Many of them are successful men and beautiful women. BTW, I heard that several celebrities join the site, including Britney, Hilton, Charlie Sheen, Justin, George Clooney, etc. The site is really HOT.
