The Texans have a UT player!!!!!!!!

Kasey Studdard is the first and will live a full and Hall of Fame career

[America]

Actually, Sloan Thomas was the 1st. But he didn't make the active roster.

this is, of course, assuming studdard makes the roster

YAY!!! Go Kasey Studdard. He will definitely make the roster.

Studdard is the greatest thing to happen to the texans except for dunta, demeco, and my boy andre.

I was hoping Sloan would make the team. He went to my high school, although he is a couple of years older than me.

I like him and think he's a really good value at round 6. He loves football and takes protecting the quarterback personally.

This would be a concern if we were looking at his athleticism and technique alone. But I think he'll make the roster because of the tenacity he plays with. Like VY10 posted, he takes protecting the QB personally and he shows it. He plays with a fire every snap of the game. I can see the coaches falling in love with his motor right off the back.

I don't know anything about the guy, I just know what I have read about him. And that doesn't stand well for him in the sense of making and maintaining himself on an NFL roster.

He could start for us. He is a mauler, but is awful on sweeps and pulling, which aren't central to our offense, so he could very well become a starter one day.

studdard is intense and should make the roster.

it always baffled me why sloan isnt in the league.

[Nightmares Win 6-0]

if he didn't go to ut, would you still think that studdard was a good pick?

i don't get the love affair with players solely because of their college of choice...
