I'll watch some of it. Looking to see who the sleepers are this season. Got to watch as many football related events as possible.

I will watch all of it that I can. I love it. The defensive backs are the thing to watch. If you appreciate pure athleticism, then these are the guys to watch. They're the best athletes on the field.

GEORGE LENDING A HAND TO INDY PROSPECT

The NFL Scouting Combine starts on Thursday in Indianapolis. On Friday, one of the prospects not invited to the doings at the RCA Dome will show what he can do, only 15 minutes away.

Working out at an indoor facility named "Sport of All Sorts" will be receiver James Banks, an Indianapolis native who started his college career as a quarterback at Tennessee. He switched to receiver, and then finished his career at Carson-Newman due to some off-field issues. As far as we can tell, Banks has behaved himself for a while now (which is more than Fabian Washington, Andre Hall, Jerome Mathis, and Roscoe Parrish can say).

Our pal Jason Whitlock described Banks as the "second-best quarterback prospect ever out of Indy, after Jeff George." And George himself is directly involved in Banks' efforts to land in the NFL.

"I have thrown to a lot of great ones and I think James has a lot of potential," George told PFT on Wednesday. The "great ones" to whom George has tossed the pointed rock include Randy Moss and Cris Carter in 1999 with the Vikings.

The workout begins at noon on Friday, and shuttle service will be available for any scouts that hope to check Banks out.

whos airing it? i'm curious as to how Brohm does, UofL has had great success over the years with QB's, but they always turn out to be a bust in the NFL, they put up incredible numbers in college, but just don't gel in the NFL, i guess its cause most or all of them are pocket passers, none have ever been known for their quickness.

I'll be a fixture in front of the tube and/or Tivo-ing what I can't see live. I'm a football junky.
