After two years at Butte, he moved on to Baylor, replacing left tackle Jason Smith, the No. 2 overall pick in 2009. After two years in Waco, he was voted second-team All-Big 12 by league coaches, and is widely expected to be a late first-round or early second-round pick later this month. At least he's not too humble to leave off the "yet" when he's referring to his bank account. Depending on how the NFL's ongoing labor impasse plays out, he'll be able to outfit the entire department with a fleet of gleaming new trucks by the end of the year. And if by any chance some ill-considered player protest starts to get out of hand, there are already professionals on the scene and he can wearing that replica football jerseys .
