That's great for him! 5th round, nice! Good kid and he's ready I believe. He's shredded too, looks the part. Good luck Marquis!

Winner winner chicken dinner. Great for Marquis, Round 5 pick 168! Happy for him.

Any other Cuse guys going to hear their name?

If RBs weren't getting killed in the draft I would say the only other Syracuse player who could be drafted Jerome Smith. However, RBs aren't getting any love so I think our 2 guys are it.

Pick 168? What a reach. I had him going 170.

 

[PeteCalvin]

And I thought I was the only one following the sixth round of the draft. You guys need something to do.

 

[ssbriefcase]

In typical linebacker fashion. After Marquis got off the phone with the Falcons at his south apt., he ran out and tackled some teammates that were watching the draft in the living room screaming "I"m going to the Falcons!!" Man I'm so happy for these kids...

2014 NFL Draft: Syracuse football linebacker Marquis Spruill drafted by Atlanta Falcons in fifth round

 

[MSOrange]

CBS gave the pick an A- and seems pretty high on his potential. Congrats Marquis!

"Spruill is a fast, athletic run-and-hit 'backer who has shown improvement in the instincts department, and has bulked up from sub-220lbs in the last year. Has a lot of range and could compete for a starting role relatively soon. Good value for the Falcons here."

Pick 168? What a reach. I had him going 170.

I was thinking 174 to the Giants

 

[orangepassion]

Very excited for him-think he has great potential

I was thinking 174 to the Giants

You guys are idiots.

I had him going #2, behind Bromley.

Just what did you see that would make him fall so far??

 

[Trueblue25]

Anderson to the titans.

Wow.
