Looks like Nader’s Prospects in the NFL are just as good as his senior year was. Check out CBS Sports Report on the Stars thus far of the Texas v. The Nation All Star Game. Nader Abdallah was “clearly” considered the number one defensive lineman at the game…

My favorite line from the Mike Wiley YouTube: “Reggie Germany and Ken-Yon Rambo are the wideouts…”

“Nader Abdallah is one of the most rewarding stories in college football that curiously no one — outside of some local media outlets here and there and the specialized Arab-American media outlets — seriously acknowledges.”

Very true, and very sad. Congrats to Nader, winner of the first ever BDBAFOAITFOFH.

Glad to see Nader is getting some love. He stood out as unique to me as being the only player on that defense to actually get better over the course of his career. Laurinaitis, Freeman, A. Russell among others were no better in 2008 than they were in 2007 or 2006. (Maybe I’ll hear an argument for Kurt Coleman, but that’s about it for me.) I’m not so sure what this says about this coaching staff, but hopefully in 2 years we’re not sitting around talking about what a beast Thaddeus Gibson was back his sophomore year.
Good work, as always.
