Koren Robinson, who was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the first round of the 2001 draft, had 39 catches in 16 games for the Seahawks, gaining 536 yards but only one touchdown. He will start again at wide receiver. Clayton White, a linebacker for the Gi— ants, hasn’t played much since he worked his way onto the team for the 2001 sea- son. For this year, he is not currently list- ed in the team’s depth chart. For some players, however, everything is not golden. Tony Scott, a cornerback for the Patriots, was waived during mandatory roster cuts. Others that got the axe as teams cut down to their 53— man rosters were Ray Robinson (Cow- boys), Ian Rafferty (Titans) and Alvis Whitted (Falcons). Still, on any given Sunday, after the currentWolfpack players have given their all the night before, more Pack players will be‘taking the field. The colors may have changed and the stadium won’t be the friendly confines of Carter-Finley, but the Wolfpackers will still be present. Brian Williams will play for the Minnesota Vikings this year.
