Did anyone see the highlights of David Pittman from Northwestern State on ESPN after he was drafted? They had a shot of him knocking the stuffing out of the NDSU tight end. I couldn't read his number though, those yellow numbers don't show up on tv at all.

I made a post in the Football Forum on NDSU's AJ Cooper and R Thompsen get their shot at the NFL today with Green Bay and Tampa Bay.

Good for both of them, they both definitely deserve a chance to prove that they belong on an NFL roster or practice squad. Any other Bison possibly getting tryouts/FA deals? I know Andy DelaBarre and Tim Popowski worked out at the Pro Day as well, although I was a little less optimistic about their chances at the time.

Actually, Hagemann played for South Dakota, not South Dakota State. :-?
