The Fabulous Five Coming Back in 2007

by Brian Carson

While the majority of fans and media focus on the upcoming Senior Bowl festivities and the underclassmen who declared for the NFL Draft, I thought it would be appropriate to spotlight those who turned down a big payday to play another year of college ball.

Here are the Endzone’s top 5 players who spurned the NFL to come back for one more season.

The NCAA Endzone Fabulous Five:

1. Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville - Brohm may have been the number one overall pick if he would have come out and most certainly would have been a top ten selection. He has all the tools: accuracy, leadership skills and a decent arm. If he has another strong season, Brohm will be the No. 1 pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

2. Jake Long, T, Michigan - A very athletic tackle, the kind the NFL likes to scoop up quickly. Didn’t get the ink that fellow Big Ten tackles Joe Thomas and Levi Brown got, but Long should get the brunt of the attention this season as Michigan will once again be national title contenders.

3. Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU - Would have been a top 15 or 20 pick this season by coming out. The rumor mill has it that at least 10 NFL teams considered picking him. It should be more than that after he finishes the 2007 season.

4. Keith Rivers, LB, USC - Another player who would have been a top 20 pick. Rivers is a quick, aggressive linebacker who will be the leader of a very strong Trojan defense in 2007.

5. Dan Connor, LB, Penn State - The best outside linebacker in college football. Connor could have been the second or third linebacker taken in the draft and would have been a late first rounder. Another solid season as leader of the Nittany Lion defense should make him a top 20 pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.
