D-3 Players in the Pros

[Kira & Jaxon's Dad]

Assuming Pierre Garcon finishes the year well for the Colts, 2010 will be a
very competitive year for WR's for the Colts. Gonzales will be back along with the starting group now.

A very good season for PG in his second  NFL year!

Just saw that Garcon is out this week with a bruised hand.

London Fletcher is getting some well deserved attention on the Sunday Night game tonight.

He almost decapitated Patrick Crayton!

Fletcher got hosed again. Snubbed for Pro Bowl.

I understand Larry Beavers is now an Indianapolis Colt and I presume practice squad but hoping to get confirmation.

[PA_wesleyfan]

He isn't on the NFL's transaction list. The Colts picked up some other WR according to the list

[PA_wesleyfan]

He hasn't had the best of luck this year.. He had a shot to play in Canada but was asked to go to Dallas that week and the Canadian team with drew the offer. I thought he may end up bacl inCarolinna but they have made numerous moves at wR all year and haven't had him back

[Pat Coleman]

Looks like it's an invite to camp next year.

Extremely underappreciated. He's a tackling machine.

[D3_DPUFan]

ABSOLUTELY.

I read on JCUSports.com that Fletcher was at least named to Sports Illustrated's All-Decade team for the 2000's so at least someone notices.

Pretty good year for D3 Alums in the league. 

Fletcher continued to dominate.  Garcon really made a leap from year one to year two.  Studebaker and Trusnik got lots of PT and produced pretty well.  Turk continued to boot the ball well in his 14th season.  Urban lost time due to the emergence of Early Doucet in Arizona but he's still a solid veteran receiver and special teamer. 

I think special mention needs to be made of Coe's Fred Jackson.  Who even noticed that he eclipsed 1,000 yards on the season?  I wonder if a D-III alum has ever accomplished such a thing before.  He did it on 4.5 YPC too.  He's a special talent that got a chance to shine this season.

And in the CFL, Jamal Robertson posted career bests as he was named Offensive MVP of his team (the Argos).  He too cleared 1,000 yards on the year rushing (4.9 YPC) with almost 500 more receiving and 9 TD's.

I know I'm missing guys so feel free to add any other highlights you might know of.

D-III had quite a year in the pros; maybe the best yet???

Colts' Garcon concerned about relatives in Haiti.

Garçon has heard that some of his family members are OK, no word on others.

That was a fantastic play and if you want to see more hustle, look at the next Ed Reed pick that was called back for pass interference.  You see Garcon blowing through and around Colts to make the hit that stops Reed and then another Colt mops up and pushes Reed out of bounds.
