UConn Football's NFL chapter added a few new members this weekend, starting with Byron Jones, who became the first defensive player from UConn to be picked in the first round. He joins a prominent group of Husky defensive backs in the league. You will also see from articles and comments that Cowboys fans are really, REALLY excited about him.
On Saturday afternoon, the Giants selected Geremy Davis in the sixth round. With such a huge contingent of UConn fans who are also Giants fans, it would be great to see him become a productive player on what is the closest thing to a local NFL team as we have in Connecticut.
