Kentucky running back Derrick Locke (5’9, 190) broke his arm in a moped accident on Thursday but he will not need surgery “at this time,” according to The Courier-Journal. He will be in a splint for four weeks.

The Wildcats leading rusher last year with 907 yards. Locke is expected to be fully recovered in time for the start of the season and resume his role as the featured back.

Locke projects as a change-of-pace back at the next level and currently holds a mid-late round grade for the 2011 NFL Draft. He also probably assure himself that a provision will be written in his contract that states, ‘No moped riding.’

St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford has not worked with the first-team offense this offseason because the coaches want to bring him along slowly, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Bill Coats. Currently, Bradford is splitting second- and third-team reps with Keith Null. A.J. Feeley is QBing the starting offense.

Cleveland Browns Second round draft pick, RB Montario Hardesty, is earning high praise from Coach Eric Mangini according to Scout.com. “For a young guy, he makes very few mistakes” Mangini said of Hardesty, who has been taking reps with the first team offense since May.

RB Joique Bell continues to see regular reps at the Bills’ offseason practices due to Marshawn Lynch’s absence, The Buffalo News reports.

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said OG Vladimir Ducasse has made progress during offseason workouts but is still making some rookie mistakes, reports Manish Mehta,

The offseason acquisitions of wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Donte’ Stallworth have added a renewed vigor to a Baltimore fan base that has been longing for more quick-strike ability out of their team’s aerial attack.

While the proud franchise has consistently produced winning seasons in seven out of the last 10 years, fans have grown accustomed to rooting for a squad that earns its victories with a punishing running game and a stifling defense.

But contrary to its reputation of being a close-to-the-vest team that wins a lot of close contests, the Ravens actually scored 30 or more points seven times in 2009. The problem is that they’ve accomplished that without getting big numbers from their quarterback Joe Flacco, who ranked 15th in passing yards despite starting all 16 regular season games.

The unflappable 25-year-old has been stoic almost to a fault in his first

Leaving one of the most storied college football teams in recent memory, former Florida Gators Maurkice Pouncey is finding his way as the Pittsburgh Steelers first round pick of the 2010 NFL Draft.

Pouncey admitted “I miss Florida a lot. All they have done for me and all I’ve done for them,” and as he exited the practice field after another week of OTA’s he also said “I love being a Pittsburgh Steeler.”

The transition from being in the ‘Steel City’ and not Gainesville in mid-June Pouncey said “It is a little different man. You don’t get all that meeting time before you actually go out here for spring ball. But it’s all right.”

With a smile from ear-to-ear you can get the sense that Pouncey is in the right place and when asked about where he thought he might end up prior to

It’s strange to think that someone so small could stand out amongst a group of men so big but that’s exactly the case for Steelers jack-of-all-trades Stefan Logan, who looks like he could be a new weapon in an already explosive offensive attack.

An undrafted free agent holdover from last year, the running back from South Dakota was seen taking reps with the first team offense during OTA’s. Pittsburgh just may have found the east coast version of Darren Sproles, a half pint playmaking dynamo.

NFL Draft Bible – Entering your second season what’s the feeling of going from undrafted free agent, to now running some plays with the first team offense?

Stefan Logan – It feels pretty good. Getting back there at my right position at running back. Coach feels like I guess they had to make a switch cause of depth and

Here’s a look at the top junior offensive line prospects entering the 2010 season:

1. Matt Reynolds, BYU (Offensive Tackle) – It’s close to a consensus in the scouting community that Matt Reynolds is the top junior offensive lineman heading into the 2010 college season. In fact, many believe the left tackle could be the first big ugly off the board in the 2011 NFL Draft should the Cougar decide to declare. Much ballyhooed coming out of high school Reynolds chose BYU over Nebraska, California and Oregon among other top programs. He proceeded to redshirt in 2007, following his church mission in Munich, Germany. Upon his return, Reynolds stepped seamlessly into the Cougars lineup at left tackle, where he has started 26 straight games heading into his junior campaign. The first team All-Mountain West performer has been critical to BYU’s explosive attack, particular with his pass protection,

The countdown continues and our number twenty-four prospect in college football is…

Wide Receiver Jonathan Baldwin, Pittsburgh (Junior):

The Skinny: The soon-to-be junior wide receiver passes the eye test with flying colors—standing at 6’5” and 225 pounds Baldwin is blessed with great length, excellent muscle build and definition, as well as large hands. However, the Pitt product is more than just body beautiful; once he gets on the field, his skills become evident. Baldwin is a long strider and while he doesn’t have the best burst off the line or short area quickness, his top end speed, once he reaches it, is very impressive. His fleetness of foot combined with his uncanny ability to high-point the football on deep throws, amazing hand-eye coordination, leaping ability and his
