2007 Draft Notes

A dream come true for Ted Ginn Jr. He should make an immediate impact as a returner and grow into an outstanding wide receiver.

Anthony Gonzales couldn’t have landed in a better situation. He is with the NFL’s premier quarterback. A great opportunity to have success early.

Troy Smith landed in a good situation even though he was drafted late. McNair only has a few years left, if Troy does a good job he could be the heir apparent.

Roy Hall has the size and speed to be a solid NFL wideout. He impressed the scouts on timing day and if he stays healthy, he could last for quite a few years in the pros.

Quinn Pitcock and Jay Richardson both landed in ideal situations. If they report to camp in great shape, they should both make their respective teams.

Disappointing that Doug Datish went late and T.J. Downing didn’t get drafted. Both will have up hill battles to make the final roster.

Good team for Antonio Pittman and if they keep three tailbacks, he should be a solid backup in New Orleans.

Bill Conley

conleyphoto.jpg During his 17 years as an assistant football coach for the Ohio State Buckeyes, Bill Conley coached tight ends, linebackers, defensive ends and special teams for head coaches Earle Bruce, John Cooper and Jim Tressel. All-American and/or eventual NFL players he coached include Cris Carter, Thomas “Pepper” Johnson, Chris Spielman, Mike Vrabel, Andy Groom, B.J. Sander, Ben Hartsock, Darnell Sanders and Mike Nugent.

Conley coached teams that included the 2002 national champions, and others earning berths in numerous bowl games, including the Rose, Fiesta, Outback, Sugar, Citrus, Holiday, Hall of Fame and Cotton Bowls.

As the Buckeyes’ recruiting coordinator in 1991 and 1992, and then from 1994 to 2004, Conley distinguished himself and gained national acclaim. Recognized by ESPN as the No. 1 college football recruiter in the country, Conley consistently brought high-impact or “franchise” players to Ohio State. A few of those players include Eddie George, Orlando Pace, Terry Glenn, Greg Bellisari, Andy Katzenmoyer, Chris Gamble, Nate Salley and Mike Nugent.

Conley is a graduate of The Ohio State University, where he was a member of three Big Ten championship teams, including the 1968 national championship team, under legendary head coach Woody Hayes. Conley earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Ohio State, and a master’s degree in administration from Wright State University.

In the spring of 2004, Conley retired from Ohio State and was named vice president at MAX Sports Center, a sports medicine and athletic performance institute in Columbus, Ohio. Today, he works to improve the skills of the nation’s top athletes, while keeping his ears to the ground for coaches looking for that next franchise player. Along with being one of the nation’s top motivational speakers, Conley is also a radio sports analyst for 610 WTVN in Columbus, Ohio.
