Edgar Thompson of the Palm Beach Post is reporting Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan will not be the Miami Dolphins quarterback of the future.  According to Thompson’s “NFL Source”, Ryan is out of the picture, as the club has begun negotiations with both Michigan tackle Jake Long and Ohio State defensive end Vernon Gholston.  The happiest man in South Florida, however, is newly acquired, and former Raider quarterback, Josh McCown, who will apparently not be replaced by another QB drafted number one overall for the second year in a row.

What was Brady's all conference recognitions? He too was only a one time second All-Big Ten member.
