JONESBORO -- Brandon Joiner hadn't been back at his alma mater for a month last spring, when the Arkansas State graduate assistant was peppered with requests for workouts with players.
Joiner was the Sun Belt Conference defensive player of the year in 2011, so it made sense that he'd be a popular choice of players seeking out pass-rushing tips.
"They'd say 'Hey, I heard you played in the league and I need to get some sacks,'" Joiner said this week. "A lot of guys said that. But a lot of guys didn't come."
Chris Odom did.
