Tampa Bay cornerback Torrie Cox is dealing with a facial laceration after teammate Aqib Talib inadvertently hit him with a helmet during the team's practice Wednesday. Hey, accidents happen, right? Of course they do.
NFL FanHouse Midseason Midtacular: because handing out awards at the halfway point in the season seemed like the right thing to do.
A fight broke out between two teammates Wednesday at the NFL Rookie Symposium, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk is reporting. 
Kansas cornerback Aqib Talib had some bad games against good opponents, including Kansas State's Jordy Nelson, who will likely be drafted later today. But I think in terms of raw talent, Talib is the best defensive back in this year's draft. I like the Buccaneers' pick a lot.
With each pick of the FanHouse mock draft, we get into the head of an NFL general manager and let you know who he'll pick and why.
Since my original selection of James Hardy, it seems, was already taken at #19 by the Eagles, I walk back to the draft podium, wearing my pink Big Ben jersey with my tail between my legs and make an alternate pick (thanks to commenter "IU Class of '91" for discovering the mistake).
Earlier in our mock draft, the Cowboys addressed their running back situation by picking Felix Jones. Now they can focus on receivers and cornerbacks.
Obviously, I wanted to bring in Hardy as a big possession receiver to be the heir apparent to Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn. With nothing else striking me as a great value at receiver here, let me go ahead and grab the first real problem child off the list: Aqib Talib.
No one doubts Talib's ability. He's one of those coveted playmakers at the cornerback position. He's got decent size, outstanding leaping ability and can make a big play for a defense. At the same time, he can give up a big play for the offense. Still, he's one of those talents that Dallas needs ... and covets.
Talib's stock has fallen a bit because of his past marijuana use while at Kansas (he reportedly tested positive for the hippie lettuce three times). Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will take a chance on a kid with some character issues -- more on that later. This is such a need for Dallas that they may overlook some past mistakes to fill the void.
Notes on a trip to the NFL Scouting Combine.
A look at the 2007 junior class as players decide whether to enter the 2008 NFL draft.
Kansas beat Kansas State today, and if you're an NFL fan, there's a name from that game that you should be ready to hear a lot in the coming years: Aqib Talib.
Kansas junior Aqib Talib will spend time at both wide receiver and cornerback for the Jayhawks in 2007. Talib will follow the footsteps of Charles Gordon who played both sides of the ball for KU from 2003-2005. For his part, Talib appears up to the challenge. "I did it all through junior high, all through high school," Talib said. "If they're throwing away from me during the game, (playing offense) keeps me in the game. It keeps me focused on the game and keeps me having fun."Talib has All-American ability on the defensive side of the ball. A year ago he led the nation in passes defended with 28. He also notched six interceptions in 2006. He will need some help from his teammates, however, if the Jayhawk's pass defense is going to improve. Last season Kansas finished dead last among Division I-A teams in passing defense, giving up an astounding 269 yards per game. His role on the offensive side of the ball will likely be more specialized as new offensive coordinator Ed Warriner attempts to jump-start the Jayhawks passing game.
"They're going to throw me in there a couple of plays here and there," Talib said. "I'm not really sure, but the new offense? I kind of like it. It's more up-tempoed and more revolved around big plays. I think it'll be real good for us."
