Bret Bielema Will Be NFL Draft Analyst On NFL Network Saturday
From 11am to 1pm, Bielema will be live in Chicago for NFL Draft coverage with the NFL Network. There's a chance he could be on set while a Hog or two is picked, which would be pretty cool. "Bielema will be on a set located in Selection Square, just outside of the Auditorium Theatre at Roosevelt University in Chicago. He will be joined by NFL Network host Melissa Stark and Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald."

Alandise Harris Training For The NFL
Congrats to big dawg @alandiseharris on winning the Defensive Player of the Year award. He's not here cause he's training for the NFL #Beast
— Razorback Basketball (@RazorbackMBB) April 14, 2015
The most interesting piece of news to come out of the Arkansas basketball banquet is that Alandise Harris is off training not for a professional basketball career, but for the NFL. Harris obviously has the muscular build that could translate to football, and a penchant for bulldozing through the lane on his way to the basket, so we'll see how this goes. What position are you envisioning for him? TE? DE? OLB? I think he'd be the greatest kickoff coverage player of all time.
Darren McFadden Signs 2-Year Deal With Dallas Cowboys
MCFADDEN'S NOT A RAIDER ANYMORE! A dream for many Hog fans ever since Darren McFadden was drafted has come to fruition. McFadden's a Dallas Cowboy and his deal is for up to $5.85 million with a $200,000 bonus. In seven years at Oakland, McFadden ran for 4,247 yards and scored 25 touchdowns while averaging 4.1 yards per attempt. 2014 was the only year in which he played in all 16 games.
Ryan Mallett Signs 2-Year Deal With Houston Texans
Arkansas' former quarterback signed an agreement to stay in Houston. The deal is for $7 million over the two years and $1.75 million guaranteed in the first year. It appears to be set up for him to try to earn a massive payday if/when he performs as well as he's hoping to this season. The Texans are also signing Brian Hoyer, who will compete with Mallett for the starting spot.
Derby, Flowers, Spaight, and Philon All Invited To NFL Combine
The full list is out, and four Hogs will attend the annual event in Indianapolis in a couple of weeks. No major surprises. Wish them the best of luck!
Jake Bequette Helps Patriots Win Super Bowl
Bequette is on the practice squad, and was on the sidelines during the game, and at one point (seen in this video) offered Tom Brady the type of team support that might have absolutely helped fuel New England's comeback. Congrats on that ring, Jake!
Martrell Spaight Indicates He's Been Invited to the NFL Combine
I've been invited to combine!! glory to GOD!! @BretBielema I appreciate all that you have done for me! Looking forward to your breakout year
— spaight (@spaight1) January 28, 2015
Spaight will be joining Darius Philon, and presumably Trey Flowers in Indianapolis. We'll keep following to see if any other Hogs get invites this year.
Darius Philon Invited To NFL Draft Combine, Apparently
Thank god for combine invite
— grindingseason (@dukephilon_07) January 27, 2015
Philon's tweet obviously indicates he'll be headed to Indianapolis soon to audition for the NFL. The invitation is a big deal for Philon and his efforts to find a home in the NFL. Philon left Arkansas after his stellar redshirt sophomore season earned All-SEC recognition.
Darius Philon Leaving Arkansas for NFL Draft
The Hogs now lose both their top performers on the defensive line.
Ryan Mallett Out for the Season with Torn Pec Injury
Who got a healthy pec for Ryan Mallett? Man, this is terrible. Mallett of course waited for three years behind Tom Brady for a chance to play in the NFL before being traded this year to Houston. He was victorious in his first start at Cleveland but at some point suffered an injury that led to a shaky performance in Houston yesterday. Now he's out for the year. Feel awful for him.
