I know there's been quite a few people who have been upset with the lack of coverage of Brent Hawkins out of Illinois St on this board, so I'll help you blokes out!
Hawkins making big rush at end
April 25, 2006
BY BRAD BIGGS Staff Reporter
Former Illinois State defensive end Brent Hawkins had just arrived at an Atlanta-area hotel last Thursday night from Kansas City, and if he had jumbled the date, time zone or city he was in, it would have been understandable.
But the fast-rising prospect for this weekend's NFL draft was sharp and on his game, ready for a meeting with Falcons coaches and front-office officials right then and there. It was eighth and final pre-draft visit for the defensive end from Illlinois State in a whirlwind two-week process that started with the Bears, who had him visit Halas Hall for an extra look.
The tour hasn't brought any clarity to Hawkins' future, just more anticipation.
"In exact order,'' he said when asked if he could rattle off the teams that brought him in for a visit: the Bears, Jaguars, Steelers, Packers, Colts, Cowboys, Chiefs and Falcons.
