"But upon further review, they noticed he ran a 6.42 in the three-cone drill, which tests a player's ability to change direction and accelerate. That time, according to www.nfl.com, was faster than any other receiver's at a Pro Day workout or the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis."

That is pretty impressive. Good luck to Cole in Atlanta, it looks like it could work out for him down there.

It is too bad that he didn't sign with the Browns since they showed interest. I had a feeling that he would end up in Cleveland. Oh well, congrats to him on what is (I hope) the start of a long, successful NFL career.

"He heard from representatives from the Cleveland Browns, whose home stadium is about a three-hour drive from Bowling Green. "

Wonder what they are driving? 3 hours?

Seriously, it does suck that the Browns didn't give him a shot. But I am glad Atlanta did.
Good luck Cole!

Nice play, Hammb! Would Balto be leading that team?

As much as I would love to see Cole in Cleveland, I would say he made a good choice by going to Atlanta. He needs a shot with a team that employs multiple looks on offense. Cleveland is headed toward a more traditional smashmouth offense. I suspect we'll see fewer and fewer three-receiver sets as that develops.

I'm not sure I agree with that. With Edwards, a healthy Winslow, Andre Davis, and Northcutt, you might see some different formations. Spread them out, and you can find some holes...
Of course, with our luck, it will never happen!

They probably used Mapquest, which had them driving 50 miles an hour and stopping in Mansfield first.

Exactly '87. We don't want all of our eggs in one basket. Josh is enough BG players for the Browns. Cole going to Atlanta is better for him and better for BGSU in terms of the increased exposure of BGSU in yet another market other than Cleveland.

He had a chance to go to Indianapolis, a place where the quarterback actually throws the ball, and decided to go to a team where he would watch the quarterback run past him? I dont get it. Some one explain

Go where they're showing you money, not too difficult.

In addition to money, it will be much easier to compete with guys on Atlanta's receiving corps than all of the Pro-Bowl receivers on Indy's team. Go where the possibly of making an impact, let alone the roster, are greater.
