Keep an eye on player 26, Julius Thomas from Portland State, now the TE for the Broncos. Manning is going to make him a star.

Ya, I noticed that too from game 1 vs the Ravens, and through the world of fanasty football. If Manning, goes somewhere else or retires his stats might become medicore. I noticed Farve at Vikings, and the complete dropoff of some players.
 
Does this list include practice squads, or just those on active rosters or injure reserve. Isn't sambrano on the colts practice squad?
 
Not to be too nit picky but Vincent Jackson wasn't in the Big Sky when he went pro. I beleive UNC moved up two years after he left. I also love the fact that 7 of the Montana guys are "Made in Montana"
