when did Jonathan Crompton become a 2nd round pick?

I too was at that game, it was part of my Bachelor Party weekend. I had a poncho but it did no good in that mess. I remember Clausen fumbling on his own 1 yard line in that game, I probably threw a few unfriendly words his way that day

A good WR catches the ball when it thrown to him regardless of where it's supposed to be going or what the play call is. IMO, if a receiver is thrown to and he has a reasonable chance to catch it (especially if he isn't hit immediately) he should catch it. So, I don't care what excuses were made, Han**** should have reeled in those passes.

The one Han**** dropped on the wheel to the sidelines was terrible. The rocket from 4 yards away to the facemask was a little tougher to handle. The sidelines one was just terrible though.

Catching either one wouldn't have killed the drive...dropping both did tho.

The wheel route was like 2 plays later. It looked like a play around here.

I was watching the game...and after that play I was convinced that Han**** was Auburn's best player that series. Even said so..lol I really believe Crompton could become a decent backup in the NFL tho.

He sure didn't help UT out that night.

Crompton has the ability, if someone can just help him keep his head clear he could be okay. Not great, just okay. Last year coming out of Jets preseason they all said that Ainge looked the best, but said they had too much invested in Sanchez, and liked the Clemoes experience.
