Rooting for Tim Day

I know we in the media are not supposed to root, but I have to be honest: I'm rooting for Tim Day.

This Thursday, the big Oregon tight end will try to showcase his skills for the NFL scouts visiting the Ducks' campus in Eugene. Most of them probably will be there to get a closer look at massive Oregon DT Haloti Ngata, and it'd be easy to overlook Day given the flood of skilled tight ends coming out of college this year, led by Maryland's Vernon Davis and UCLA's Marcedes Lewis.

I had actually forgotten about Day. I mean, he was a productive player and someone I've thought of highly ever since noticing him making plays in a Ducks upset of Michigan three years ago. The guy was big, but he also had a knack for finding creases in zones and making catches in traffic.
