A project of a different kind...

Looking back over the last few years of college football, there are a number of autographs I would have like to have gotten but didn't succeed in obtaining. I sent requests to most of these guys, but none were returned. These guys have continued their success at the pro level, so I've decided to contact them via their current NFL team and attempt to have them sign a card adorned with their college logo and a photo from their collegiate days.

Most of these requests are to high-profile NFL players, so I doubt my success rate will be all that great. But I still think it's worth a try. With that in mind, here's a list of the players I've chosen to contact. These requests went in the mailbox today.

Reggie Bush (USC/Saints), Vince Young (Texas/Titans), Matt Leinart (USC/Cardinals), Jay Cutler (Vanderbilt/Broncos), Joseph Addai (LSU/Colts), LenDale White (USC/Titans), Maurice Jones-Drew (UCLA/Jaguars), Jerious Norwood (Mississippi State/Falcons), Ronnie Brown (Auburn/Dolphins), Sean Taylor (Miami/Redskins), Carson Palmer (USC/Bengals), Rex Grossman (Florida/Bears), Willie McGahee (Miami/Bills), Michael Vick (Virginia Tech/Falcons), Peyton Manning (Tennessee/Colts), Donovan McNabb (Syracuse/Eagles), Drew Brees (Purdue/Saints), Warrick Dunn (Florida State/Falcons), LaDainian Tomlinson (TCU/Chargers), Santana Moss (Miami/Redskins), Terrell Owens (UT-Chattanooga/Cowboys)
