Teddy Lehman intercepted a BUILT TOUGH Linebacker Teddy Lehman hurt his ribs in the first quarter of the Locos’ season opener against the Florida Tuskers. The injury that sidelined him later didn’t keep him from going back into the game and intercepting Tuskers’ quarterback Brooks Bollinger on the first play of Florida’s second drive. Lehman jumped in front of wide receiver Cortez Hankton, picked off Bollinger’s throw and returned the ball for a touchdown to give the Locos an early lead. As his teammates were jumping on him in the endzone in celebration, Lehman tried to protect his ribs by turning away from them. Lehman sat out the remainder of the game, but an X-ray revealed no broken ribs. DeDe IS BACK The Las Vegas Locomotives added running back DeDe Dorsey to their roster Tuesday. The 5-foot- 11, 210-pound back scored three rushing touchdowns for the Locos in 2009 and added another score through the air. Dorsey brings NFL experience to the Locos. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2006, before being waived prior to the start of the season. The Indianapolis Colts claimed Dorsey back off waivers, and he played in 17 games as a special teamer. The running back saw time on special teams in the Colts’ 29-17 Super Bowl win over the Chicago Bears. Dorsey was an important piece of the Locos’ offense on the team’s way to the inaugural UFL championship. He ran for 303 yards on only 47 carries, averaging 6.4 yards per attempt. He also caught 18 passes for 98 yards and a 5.4 yard average per reception. On N ovember 18, 2007, in a game against the Arizona Cardinals, Dorsey blocked Mike Barr's punt in third quarter and returned it 19 yards for a touchdown. The blocked punt was the Bengals' first since 1995, and the team’s first blocked punt for a touchdown since 1989. Dorsey became only the third player in Bengals' history to single-handedly block a punt and recover it for a touchdown. UFL ACKNOWLEDGES MISTAKE ON ILLEGAL BLITZ RULING The United football league acknowledged that replay official Carl Taganelli misinterpreted the illegal blitz rule in the Locos’ season opener against the Florida Tuskers. The Locos stacked the box and sent nine players to stop the Tuskers’ ground attack on a 3rd and 1 from the Las Vegas two-yard line. Linebacker Brandon Moore forced a fumble and safety C.J. Wallace came up with the ball. The play was nullified by the illegal blitz ruling and the Tuskers went on to score the go-ahead touchdown one play later. "What happened was Las Vegas had eight or nine guys with a hand on the ground instead of the four they're allowed to have,” said UFL vice president of officiating operations Larry Upson in an interview with Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review Journal. “But this rule only applies on pass plays, and this was clearly not a pass play." MORE ROSTER CHANGES Added to roster In addition to bringing back DeDe Dorsey, the Locos added offensive lineman Andrew Crummey and cornerback Coye Francies. Crummey was signed by the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent in 2008. The 6-foot-4, 300lb guard/center also spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars and most recently the Carolina Panthers. He was a three-year starter at right guard at Maryland and earned All-ACC honors in his final two seasons with the Terps as well as All-America accolades in his senior year. Francies was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the sixth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He played in six games with the Browns, recording four tackles and breaking up one pass. He played college football at San Jose State. Deleted from roster The Locomotives suffered a blow to their secondary when safety Nick Turnbull injured his left knee early in the Locos’ season opener against the Tuskers. The 6-foot-2 defensive back was put on injured reserve. Turnbull was an important part of the Locos’ 2009 championship-winning squad. He recorded 31 tackles in the inaugural six-game regular season and was tied for the league lead with two interceptions. He started in last year’s championship game and recorded four tackles and one interception for 13 yards. The Locos also cut running back Alex Henderson and guard Tavares Washington. FASSEL RETURNS FOR SECOND SEASON After winning the inaugural UFL championship with the Las Vegas Locos in 2009, head coach Jim Fassel returns for a second year with the team. Under his guidance, the Locos finished with a 5-2 record in the Premiere season and defeated the Florida Tuskers 20-17 in the championship game. As head coach of the New York Giants, Fassel resurrected the career of quarterback Kerry Collins and received acclaim for his playoff guarantee in the 2000 season, during which he led the Giants to an improbable Super Bowl appearance. Fassel has a long record of offensive successes and has tutored other prominent quarterbacks including Phil Simms, Boomer Esiason, Jeff Hoestetler and John Elway. Prior to becoming the Giants head coach, Fassel was the team’s offensive coordinator and served in the same capacity with the Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders.

  • Seminoles in the Nfl Draft
    137 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME All-time Florida State gridiron greats Walter Jones and Derrick Brooks are used to making history. The longtime NFL stars added an achievement that will without a doubt move to the top of their accolade-filled biographies when they were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame inAugust, 2014. Jones and Brooks became the first pair of first-ballot Hall of Famers from the same class who attended the same college in over 40 years. The pair’s journey together started 20 years ago. Just as Brooks was wrapping up his All-America career at Florida State in 1994, Jones was joining the Seminoles out of Holmes Community College (Miss.) for the 1995 season. DERRICK BROOKS Linebacker 1991-94 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame WALTER JONES Offensive Tackle 1995-96 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame 138 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME They never played on the same team at Florida State, but Jones distinctly remembers how excited he was to follow in the footsteps of the star linebacker whom he called the face of the Seminoles’ program. Jones and Brooks were the best at what they did for over a decade in the NFL. Brooks went to 11 Pro Bowls and never missed a game in 14 seasons (all with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), while Jones became the NFL’s premier left tackle, going to nine Pro Bowls over 12 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Both retired in 2008, and, six years later, Jones and Brooks were teammates for the first time as first-ballot Hall of Famers.

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope.

  • Active Statistical Leaders Heading Into 2001
    “REAL” JOBS Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback TOMMY MADDOX once pitched insurance policies before he got a job throwing footballs. JOSE CORTEZ of the Kansas City Chiefs, the only NFL player in history born in El Salvador, was once a roofer. And everybody knows that 2001 NFL MVP KURT WARNER once stocked groceries. Indeed, a surprising number of NFL players had “real” jobs before they came into the league. “Football is a blue-collar man’s game,” says former Washington Redskins cornerback DARRELL GREEN. And maybe that’s why the league is filled with so many former “blue-collar” workers. Following is a list of “real jobs” previously held by some NFL players: PLAYER, TEAM CAREER(S) David Akers, Philadelphia Substitute teacher; waiter James Allen, Houston Worked at Houston recording studio Mitch Berger, St. Louis Pumped gas in Canada Jose Cortez, Kansas City Roofer Mark Dixon, Miami Golf course lawn maintenance Jay Feely, Atlanta Financial consultant Ray Jackson, Cincinnati Wal-Mart sporting goods employee Michael Lewis, New Orleans Budweiser truck driver Tommy Maddox, Pittsburgh Insurance salesman Fred McCrary, New England Corrections officer David Patten, New England Landscaper, electrician, truck loader Nathan Poole, Arizona Youth counselor Jeff Saturday, Indianapolis Electrical supply company Al Wallace, Carolina Public school assistant principal Kurt Warner, St. Louis Stocked groceries OTHER JOBS Football takes up a lot of their time, but that has not prevented a good number of NFL players from preparing for life after the game by jumping into some other lines of work even as they “moonlight” on the football field. For example, Philadelphia Eages cornerback TROY VINCENT – the 2002 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year – is a full-fledged offseason entrepreneur.
