Chad Beebe is the son of former Leatherneck and NFL football player Don Beebe. Chad played WR at Northern Illinois.
Craig James is another name we're somewhat familiar with, having played CB at Southern Illinois
And of course...Brett Taylor, who is the first Macomb native since 1934 to be on an NFL roster. Obviously there's a lot of steps (and cuts) between now and then, but it's a promising start.

Awesome!!! I was looking at their mini-camp pictures, and thought Brett was possibly wearing #55 during camp - not sure, but I think that was him.

I saw the Ravens assigned #80 to Jaelon Acklin - caught a picture of him on their website as well.

Haven't heard anything on Judd or Griffith yet. Anyone???

Yes, I saw somewhere else that Brett was the one in #55 if you go watch the mini-camp videos and photos.

Thought I saw Judd in some of the picks wearing 62. He still has his mini camp with Saints coming up. Griffith has his coming up this weekend with the Chargers and just saw Holloway was at the Chiefs that just finished today.
