By Will Leitch, Deadspin: Matt Leinart
One particular joy this NFL offseason is to flip through the preseason guides and note all the references to the above Matt Leinart photo. Inevitably, it'll read something like, "Leinart had an offseason that pleased the ladies and the blogs more than it pleased the Cardinals coaching staff."

Virginia head coach Al Groh, a former NFL assistant, on USC:

"This is the most talented college football team I've seen since I had to do pre-draft work on the Florida State teams of the mid- to late-1990s."
"They had the most guys in the country drafted last year and a couple of NFL general managers have told me: 'They might have more drafted next year.' They definitely have been in a league of their own in the decade from 2000 on."

<!--start image--><!-- end image-->Good things happen to those who wait. At least, that's what defensive tackle Averell Spicer had thought. Backing up all-American tackle Sedrick Ellis for two years, Spicer knew it'd be his turn to fill those shoes when the Trojans entered spring ball following Ellis' departure to the NFL. But, it didn't quite work out that way.... more »

One of the best linebackers in the country, USC’s Rey Maualuga is a tremendous physical presence on the Trojans defense and has been a consistent force. At 6-foot-2, 260 pounds, Maualuga is the prototypical inside linebacker that any team in the NFL would love to get their hands on, but they will have to wait another year. Maualuga, after an outstanding... more »
