Could this Rice Owl be a late-round steal for the Patriots?
While the East-West Shrine Game doesn’t always get the attention of its bigger brother, the Senior Bowl, there were quite a few legitimate day one and day two 2011 NFL Draft prospects on display in Orlando today and many that will get picked up by teams on day three.
