Ahhh, my specialty, the Florida Gators. The DE you're referring to is #94, Jarvis Moss. At 6-6 1/2, 260 he's a beast. Very fast. He was a consensus all-american and 5-star prospect coming out of high school in Texas. He was actually the anchor on his high school's 4 X 100 relay team in track. He is light as far as D-ends go, and I have heard that some teams who run a 3-4 (especially Pittsburgh) are interested in him to use as an OLB. He's not a run stuffer, and as far as the Redskins are concerned he is too much like Andre Carter. I don't think we'll draft him (unless we are able to trade down, and even then I doubt it). But I do think he'll be a good NFL player.
I don't know about high character. He's not a bad guy, but he likes the reefer (got suspended one game this past season for failing a drug test).

Another Gator we could pick up if we some how end up with a 2nd round pick is DT Ray McDonald. He's a beast, and if he hadn't had a torn MCL his junior year he'd probably be a 1st rounder. But now he has that whole "injury prone" label.

I got him mixed up w/ the safety.. I thought it was Moss who lost his mother but as it turns out it was another player who played in the secondary.

The player who lost his mother was 1st team All-American safety Reggie Nelson. She passed away just a few weeks before the national championship. He is an EXTREMELY high character guy.
