Interview: Former All Pro Kyle Turley
People might not remember the date November 4, 2001 but they remember the play with Kyle Turley slinging his helmet into the Superdome sky after New York Jets Damien Robinson tried to roughhouse Turley’s quarterback Aaron Brooks. Yes, that is what we remember about Kyle Turley but what the next generation of Kyle Turley fans will remember him by is his blend of country and rock with his first album “Anger Management”. Gridiron Records created by both Turley and Tim Pickett are forging there way into the music scene and with lyrics like “I love Jerry Jones. I want to be a Cowboy” from track two called “Flyin Helmets lll” fills the desire for both good music with a edge with some football flavor in the mix. Join host Bo Marchionte with special guest Kyle Turley on the NFL Draft Bible Player Spotlight Show Presented By All Access Football.

Interview: Buffalo Bills NT Lonnie Harvey
Baltimore native Lonnie Harvey is a big man with a big heart, he spends his spare time visiting and speaking with kids at local schools and hospitals. Harvey is also in the process of starting his own foundation to reach out to kids in the inner city of Baltimore. He is an example of someone that cares about his community and is always finding time in the off-season to give back. On the field, Harvey is a behemoth at 6’4? and 350 pounds NT for the Buffalo Bills and entered the NFL in 2009 as an undrafted free agent with the Carolina Panthers. With the Buffalo Bills adopting the new 3-4 defensive scheme in early 2010, Lonnie will be an integral part of help anchoring the up front middle of their defense this season and years to come.

2011 NFL Draft Watch #40: Mike Pouncey
The countdown continues and our number forty prospect in college football is…
Center/Offensive Guard Mike Pouncey, Florida (Senior):
The Skinny: Like his twin brother Maurkice, Mike Pouncey is not only schematically versatile; he can play multiple positions along the offensive line. The interior lineman started all 14 games both as a sophomore and a junior, mostly at the right guard position, and also started on the left side last year. This season he is expected to take over at center, replacing his brother who left early for the NFL. The remaining Gator is skilled to the point that the team even used him at tackle this past spring and some of the coaches at Florida believe he can play center, guard and tackle. That would give new meaning to the term ‘jack-of-all-trades’ when it comes to scouting offensive linemen. During his two-year stint as a starter
2011 NFL Draft Watch #39: Jared Crick
The countdown continues and our number thirty-nine prospect in college football is…
Defensive Tackle Jared Crick, Nebraska (Junior):
The Skinny: The first thing that stands out about Crick is his length. At 6’5” the Cornhusker is longer than many of the top interior defensive linemen the NFL has to offer. When he steps on the field you can’t help but be impressed by his awesome penetration power, as his 9.5 sacks (15 tackles for loss) indicate. While it is true that Ndamukong Suh drew a lot of attention away from Crick, the sophomore still had to take advantage of those opportunities. He did just that, and earned himself first team All-Big XII honors along with the Heisman Trophy finalist. The fact is that Crick’s first-step quickness and use
