I think Janikowski was constantly in trouble with the law. IIRC, right after he got drafted he had another of his run-ins, and the Raiders organization announced that they would drop him if he kept it up. This led to one sportswriter (maybe Mike Bianchi) laughing that the Oakland Raiders had higher standards of conduct for their players than Bobby Bowden.
BTW, back in the '70s, the Raiders drafted Ray Guy, a punter, in the first round I believe. Everyone thought they were crazy. Go Gators!!!! Ken B.

I'm just saying it's much more difficult than if you're say, a WR.

There are very many available every year and so few are needed that one has to be an incredible kicker and lucky that there's a team looking for one. James Wilhoit, the kid who kicked for Tennessee when they beat us there during the Zook disaster, never got picked up. I thought he had a cannon for a leg.

I'd pick Henry in 2nd round if I were a GM. From watching our team in Spring Practice and the O&B, the drop off from our 1st string to everyone else is greatest at punter and TE. Everywhere else, we have an able replacement, and, of the rest, Spikes was only other player that stood out as clearly better than his backup. Henry's punts were so long and so high, he will be a strength to an NFL team, a la Ray Guy. -Zeb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
