I saw these names on the web:

The tryouts for Dragosavich and Cattouse, Mike mentioned, are probably more accurate.

Mike Dragosavich P NDSU
Chris Norwell DE Illinois
Jon Stupar TE Virginia
Ryan Wendell C Fresno State
Kenny Cattouse RB Troy
Josh Coffman OT ECU
Keith Saunders DE Alabama

rumor is that Dragosavich is one of the best punters in the draft so that could be a nice snag. It's tough to get excited about Special Teams, but it looks like BB and co have gone out of their way to improve an already top-notch special teams unit.

Vince Redd and Cattouse could be interesting prospects too. Cattouse averaged 5.9 per carry at Troy -- that's pretty impressive.

I am the biggest Pats fan in ND and I was livid that they did not choose Dragosavich in the draft. Worked out well though maybe. The guy kicks the ball and it explodes off his foot. He spent many hours working his technique to make it pro level. He has some touch too. I'll be shocked if he gets away from NE without a contract.
