The Rookie Experience: Intro

The 2010 NFL Draft is in the books.

There were many surprises during the three-day event, but now it's time to focus on the players and their upcoming adventure of becoming pro's and the challenges it comes with.

I thought that it may be a good idea to have a journal of three players that will be trying to fulfill their dreams in different situations during the upcoming season.

For this experiment I decide to choose:

Tim Tebow (QB)

I chose him because he was one of the most controversial player in this year's Draft.

He was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the first-round with the 25th pick. Most pundits were scratching their heads when he was chosen, because most of them projected him as a second or third round pick.

He doesn't have a big chance at winning over the starting spot this year, but it's always fun to see what happens with this kind of players.

Corey Wooton (DE)

I chose him because 1) I'm a huge Wildcats & Bears fan and 2) Because I really think he'll be able to get on the very often and have an impact on it,

He was drafted in the 4th round with the 11th(109th overall) pick by the Chicago Bears. During his junior year he was predicted to land as high as the second round, but a torn ACL destroyed his draft stock.

With a solid senior season he recovered some of the hype, but his durability is still in under scrutiny.

Ciron Black (OT)

I chose him because I was surprised nobody drafted him and as of April 29 nobody has signed him.

He went un-drafted.

Some scouts were concerned with his speed and condition, but he was a great leader at LSU and I feel he will work hard and will have extra motivation trying to prove everyone wrong.

I'll be posting their stories as they progress so be sure to check my profile if you're interested.
