NFL U on display at the Pro Bowl…

Here ye, here ye. Future recruits, kids that just signed with The U or those who snubbed Miami to go elsewhere. You want to see first hand why the Canes have earned the moniker NFL U? Check out yesterday’s action on the NFL Network replay or just check out the box score as it was a who’s who of Miami alum:

Frank Gore: 6 carries, 26 yards, TD
Devin Hester: 5 returns, 160 yards
Andre Johnson: 3 catches, 73 yards
Ed Reed: 3 tackles, 2 INT
Sean Taylor: 6 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 1 demolition of AFC punter
Reggie Wayne: 6 catches, 137 yards, TD

22-first round Draft picks since 2002 and four of them (Johnson, Reed, Taylor & Wayne) were on display Sunday in Honolulu. Gore and Hester were the throw ins and both delivered as well.

To this year’s Signing Day bunch, get it done the next few years at Miami and your NFL day will come. To those who snubbed us, let yesterday be a lesson to you.

Ride with us or collide with us.
