About Preston »

I'm Preston, a 14 year old aspiring NFL Draft writer. I started getting into the NFL around the middle of the 2007 season and it has quickly taken over my life. I don't know why I love the draft, but something about it tickles my fancy.

I live in Chicago and, besides the NFL, don't really follow too many things in other sports besides my favorite teams [the White Sox and the Bulls]. I guess you could call me a casual NBA and MLB fan, but a hardcore NFL fan. If that makes sense

Well, that's my profile. I may update it later, I may not, but it'll always be here. Until this site closes down. But you can remember that it always was here when it could be.

Tired of reading the same articles about Mangini? Here's my take on the Browns roster and how they could attack free agency. It's a fresh look at the organization and could be refreshing after sifting through thousands of Mangini articles.
