Colt Brennan Drafted by Washington, Bess to Miami, Rivers to Tenn., RGM to Houston, Satele to Arizona

The Redskins just drafted Colt Brennan in the 6th round. More news to follow...

UPDATE: Here are breaking news articles from the Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin, which will probably be updated with more info later on.

I think now's a good time to revisit this great highlight video of Colt's career so far...



UPDATE 2: From the updated Advertiser article, here's a quote from Colt:

"Then all of a sudden I got a strange area code (on caller ID) and picked it up," he said. "Sure enough, it was: 'Hold on, Colt, would you move to the Washington D.C. area?' I was like, 'Yeah.' He said: 'Hold on, we're going to punch you through to coach (Jim) Zorn and the GM. It was an awesome feeling, a really good feeling."

The Advertiser has another article, with some quotes from the Redskins.

And here's a link to an audio file (WMA) of Colt talking to the Washington media. Thanks to hawaiiroller for finding it.

UPDATE 3: Here's a press release from the UH Athletics Department about Colt getting drafted.

No other Warriors were drafted, which is pretty amazing considering last year's draft and some of the grades this year's players had received. I'm sure several of them will hook up with teams as free agents. Hopefully some good news to link to soon.

UPDATE 4: Here's video of the ESPN analysts discussing Colt Brennan's NFL potential after he got drafted by Washington. Ron Jaworski bashes Colt so much that even Mel Kiper starts defending him. They also interview Vinny Cerrato of the Redskins.

Part 1:



Part 2 (Jaws can't let it go)



I've heard they call him "Jaws" because he can't stop chomping on that foot in his mouth. Just sayin!

UPDATE 5: Davone Bess signed a free agent deal with the Miami Dolphins, reuniting him with Samson Satele and Reagan Mauia.

UPDATE 6: Jason Rivers signed a deal with the Tennessee Titans.

UPDATE 7: Ryan Grice-Mullen signed a deal with the Houston Texans, while Hercules Satele will sign with the Arizona Cardinals.

UPDATE 8: Here's an article from Paul Woody of the Richmond Times-Dispatch about the Redskins drafting Colt.

Brennan had surgery to repair his hip and is on the mend. Still, he said he’s six weeks away from being able to practice or play.

Redskins coach Jim Zorn wasn’t bothered by that.

"It’s a little bit of a concern, but not enough for me to pass on him," Zorn said. "He can hit what he’s throwing at. When you complete 70-plus percent of your passes, there’s some accuracy there.

"He’s not a strong-armed, fireball [passer]. The ball is going to come out quick and accurate. I wasn’t as concerned about that as I was about accuracy. He’s got a bit of a sidearm release, and we’ll try to bring that up a little bit. He’s got the ability to move around. His lateral movement, his ability to get himself in position to throw after a play breaks down is tremendous."

And here's WMA audio of Jim Zorn talking about Brennan.
