Tim Tebow, right?
Nope.
James Develin, an All-Ivy League defensive lineman at Brown who has been listed as a running back (read H-back) with the Pats is portrayed as a candidate for the slot here. Develin appeared in one game with the team last fall and spent time on the Bengals and New England practice squads the past couple of years. Find his Brown bio here and his Patriots bio here.

The Vail (Colo.) Daily has a story about the passing of Vernon "Moose" Taylor '39 – a two-year Dartmouth football letterman, naval aviator in World War II, oil man and one of the original investors in The Vail Corporation – at the age of 97.
The story about a life well-lived begins this way:
The great thing about Vernon and Ann Taylor’s house on the hill in Vail was that about anyone was welcome, as long as you behaved yourself. It was an amazing place, but then again, they were amazing people. Wander in the door and you might run into Gregory Peck, Truman Capote or the occasional British royal, or you might see the guy who swings lift chairs with you on Vail Mountain. When Gerald Ford was the 38th president, there might be a quorum of his Cabinet members around the Taylor’s dinner table.A Denver Post story from earlier this month notes he transferred to Dartmouth from New Mexico School of Mines.
