It's been a great year for Trent Sherfield and family. When the call comes later this week, the excitement hits another level.

The Vanderbilt senior watched his brother/friend Donte Ingram help Loyola Chicago reach the Final Four.

Now, it's his turn.

The Danville High School graduate expects to be picked no later than the fifth round in the NFL draft, which starts Thursday in Arlington, Texas.

"I've been calling it 'YODD. It's the Year of Divine Double," Sherfield said.

Sherfield has talked with a bunch of teams leading up to the draft. Though he grew up a Bears fan (his grandmother insisted), Sherfield will happily play for whoever calls.
