If there was a single positive from last…
Former Brown quarterback E.J Perry reversed course yesterday. After originally agreeing to terms with the Philadelphia Eagles, Perry opted to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The opportunity to make the Jaguars was more appealing to Perry than the current quarterback situation in Philadelphia. We can only speculate that is why he made the decision to sign with the Jaguars. Perry was the Bushnell Cup winner offensively last season at Brown…

Photo: UConn Athletics It took much longer than many people expected, but UConn defensive lineman Travis Jones was selected with the 76th pick in the third round of the NFL Draft on Friday night. Jones really “arrived” at the Reese’s Senior Bowl practices. Now, the former Husky is a Raven and should in perfectly with the franchise’s tough mentality. Jones talked with the local Maryland/D.C. media moments after the selection….

Last week, EJ Perry was the star of the show at the Holy Cross Pro Day, but teammates Jakob Prall (WR) and Chad Broome-Webster (OL) were also representing the Bears and did so quite well. Broome-Webster’s story is an interesting one and began with a love affair of basketball. It also started like many football stories start, with mom not being too happy her son was playing such a violent…
