Divide and conquer. This is my new strategy for my blog. I have decided to expand my blog from not only NJ hockey, but to NJ sports. I will now include Rutgers Scarlet Knights and New York Giants into my blogs.
Today, I will talk about the Scarlet Knights.
For the first time in the school's history, two Knights were picked in the first round. Anthony Davis, the former RU star at tackle, selected 11th by San Francisco, the highest a Rutgers player has ever been drafted, and Devin McCourty, the starting cornerback for the Scarlet Knights taken by the Patriots for the 27th pick, were both taken in the first round. Ryan D'Imperio, who I consider one of my favorite not only RU linebackers but RU players, a player of so much heart and dedication, was selected as a fullback in the 7th round by the Vikings. I am sure Davis and McCourty will make immediate impacts for their respective teams and will eventually star in the league, and I am also sure D'Imperio will became a solid fullback.
However, a few players from the Knights were not drafted. Jack Corcoran, the underachieving but still solid fullback was signed by Houston. Kevin Haslam, a disappointing member of the underachieving offensive line from last year, was signed by Jacksonville.
As a Giants and Rutgers fan, I was extremely excited to hear that the New York Giants signed Tim Brown. While many consider Brown too short to be an NFL receiver, he is fast, motivated, and absolutely explosive. I see him as being the surprise free agent pickup and I think he will make the Giants depth chart and eventually make his way up as a go to receiver.
Over the next few days, I plan on writing about the Rutgers season preview, and how goal tending wins championships.
Thanks for reading!
