Any FSU fans care to share some info on this RB ?

I hope Shockley gets a shot in Detroit, or St. Louise..............both teams need a QB. (Stafford and Culpepper are hurt and Bulger is alwayse hurt.) Why they stick with him and refuse to draft a QB I can't figure out. The Raiders need a QB too but I would never wish that upon a DAWG.

I could see Carolina or another NFC team picking him up just to steal our offensive playbook. With 3 years in the system he should have it memorized.
