"I like him," Gruden said. "All he does is complete passes. He has great physical tools. He has a big arm and his mobility is better than we thought. He's an accurate passer with touch and he's a big guy. I think he's going to be able to withstand the grind. He's a real bright prospect."

Also, about Cadillac Williams

In describing Auburn's Williams at a press conference Tuesday, Gruden, the Tampa Bay Bucs head coach who is serving as head coach of the South team, called Williams "a national champion." That's music to the ears of Auburn fans in the area.

Gruden also said he liked Williams' nickname, Cadillac. "It sounds fast," he said. "He's going to be a heck of a pro football player. ... he can return punts and kickoffs, he's comfortable in any formation and he wants to be great."

There are other tidbits about Senior Bowl players in the article. For those of you (like me) who aren't ESPN insiders, this sight normally has Senior Bowl articles everyday.

I don\'t know about Gruden but when I hear the name Cadillac I do not think of speed. Maybe it\'s just me.

Now, if his name were corvette or something, I could understand.

That\'s my boy Jason Campbell. 3rd round New Orleans Saints baby!!!!

I wouldn\'t have a problem with that, as long as 1 and 2 are LB/OT.
I don\'t think he\'ll be NFL ready for a year or two, but he\'s an exciting prospect.

saintswhodi · 01-26-2005, 02:18 PM

That\'s why I said 3rd Danno. Even better if we somehow manage to get an extra second or 3rd out of someone for Darren Howard. Then we can go LB/OT/SS or CB then Campbell in the draft if he is still there. Even better.

Bleh so I\'m wrong, it looks more like he\'ll be a second rounder now. I was only off by two rounds *winks at saintswhoadi* haha! Like I said before pre-draft workouts can do wonders, and it\'s certainly doing it for him. But Kiper and others may like him a lot but they\'ve stated that he is a \"one year wonder\" and must be evaluated very carefully. Hey but so far so good.
