Former Dartmouth linebacker Folarin Orimolade gets top photo billing in a STATS story about "undervalued" pro prospects in the FCS. Read the full story HERE.
Craig Haley, senior FCS editor for STATS, and a former beat writer covering Princeton sports, writes:
Some players not going to the combine who I would put on this list are Dartmouth linebacker Folarin Orimolade and San Diego cornerback Jamal Agnew. Both were not invited and yet they can play. I understand why Orimolade did not get one because he is a little pigeon-toed and was a little overweight at the NFLPA Bowl, but he can rush the passer and is fun to watch.

It was one of those days when Griff the Wonder Dog and I head outside for his morning constitutional and I end up going back in for the camera. Strong winds cleared the skies and we were able to see five Vermont ski areas from across the road: Killington and Pico (pictured), Okemo, Stratton Mountain and Ascutney (defunct). Click the photos to enlarge them.
Mount Ascutney, a monadnock, or free-standing mountain, is the nearest of the areas.
