Wolf a Cowboy

It is official. Wolf Garrett is a Dallas Cowboy. Only a week after getting drafted Wolf and the Cowboys agreed to a 2 year 16.5 million dollar contract. "I'm really excited about the deal. I'm glad I got signed so I can get out there and play." Wolf said. 

It looks like Wolf will change his number from 7 to 10. "I like the number 7. I've been that number since 9th grade, but maybe I'll start a new legacy with 10. Yeah, thats what I'll do."

Draft Day

Because of the speculation and the investigation regarding his mother and the University of Oregon Wolf's stock has dropped tremendously. After being considered an upper first round draft pick, many experts think that he would drop to late 2nd possible 3rd round. So, Wolf decided to spend draft day with this parents in his suburban home.

"Dad and I will probably go golfing. I love hitting the links." Wolf said, "I want to be there, watching every minute of the draft, but at the same time I need to keep my mind off of it. If I sit at home watching Chris Berman and Mel Keiper on ESPN, I'm pretty sure I'll go crazy."

Wolf didn't hear anything in round one, which was expected. His agent, J. De La Soil, gave him a call halfway through round 2 just to see how he was doing. "I was excited when I saw J. calling me, but when he was just checking in I got pretty bummed out." 

Wolf waited around with his parents for a little while long. Then about 7:45 pm he got a phone call from one Jerry Jones.

Wolf Garrett: Hello?

Jerry Jones: Wolf? Hi, this is Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys.

WG: Oh, well hello, sir. How are you doing?

JJ: I'm doing pretty good. Listen, it's round 3 and I bet you're getting pretty ancy.

WG: Yes sir, I am.

JJ: Well, I was looking at your stats, watched some film of you from Oregon, and I think you'll fit really well in our system. 

WG: Thanks, sir.

JJ: It will be tough, we have a pretty good kid in Tony Romo, are you ready for the challenge?

WG: Absolutly. I love a good challenge.

JJ: Great! I'm glad to here that Wolf. I look forward to seeing you in training camp. Bye.

WG: You too sir, thanks! Good bye.

NFL Scouting Combine

Wolf had a good showing at the combine earlier today. "Boy, does this kid have talent. I hope that he gets drafted where he deserves," one NFL network analyst told me. "It's a shame that there is all of this junk out there about his mother. I know it shouldn't matter in the NFL, but to some guys it does."

Wolf ran the 40 in 4.89 seconds, faster than any other quarterback at the combine. He threw well and impressed some with his benching abilities.

"I feel good about the whole thing. I really hope that all my hard work pays off. I guess we'll find out in about a week or so." 

Southern California Workout

Wolf Garrett worked out with the San Diego Chargers this last week. He had a 10 rep workout where he completed 5 passes, 3 of which went for touchdowns. He did throw one INT and got hit hard by Shawne Merriman.

It was strange that the Chargers asked Wolf for a workout considering that they have a young starting Quarterback in Philip Rivers. When asked about whether or not there was a problem over center the Chargers GM, A.J. Smith had this to say:

"Philip just had knee surgery in the off season. As of now he is 100% and he is our starter. We're counting on him, but you never know - this is the NFL. We like to know who could help us in the future if something horrible were to happen."

NCAA Investigation

Later this week the NCAA will continue it's investigation involving Mrs. Garrett and the boosters and the University of Oregon. Mrs. Garrett has been contacted by the NCAA, but could not comment due to NCAA restrictions. Interviews are being collected this week in Eugene. The NCAA hopes to conclude this investigation in the next few weeks. 

Workout with the Bucs

Wolf Garrett was asked by General Manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bruce Allen, to have an individual work out with team. With the team's quarterback in question Wolf might make a good fit in Tampa Bay. 

"Playing in the state of Florida would be pretty fantastic. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I still have to work out for the team, and then be on the board when it is their turn to draft." Wolf said.

As for the 1o rep workout Wolf completed 5 passes, 3 of which for touchdowns. Mr. Allen said, "The kid did great. He's got definite potential to be a superstar in the NFL. He seems a little bit shy though, I hope that he can make it in the league."

Garrett invited to workout with the Cleveland Browns

Early last week Wolf Garrett got a phone call from Phil Savage, general manager of the Cleveland Browns inviting Wolf to have a workout with the team. 

In a 10 rep workout Wolf completed 5 passes, had one touchdown, and was sacked one time. Overall he was happy with his performance. "You only get one shot in this league. I think I did pretty well."

"Wolf has a lot of potential and we have a need at the position," Mr. Savage said. "We will put him through some passing drills, and see how he does." 

When asked about the accusations of Wolf's mother Savage said, "The kid's got talent. But, I don't want to be associated with cheating. We'll just have to see how it all plays out."

Interview with Conrad Ordell of the NFL Network

Conrad Ordell: Do you think you'll end up where you want to be?

Wolf Garrett: It doesn't matter. I'll do my best wherever I go.

CO: What can you contribute to a football organization?

WG: I'll just step into my new role and do my job.

CO: A player of your caliber should be a first rounder, what happens if you get skipped over?

WG: You can never predict these things. I'll just be glad to get drafted.

CO: How do you think the recent accusations about your mother will effect your draft status?

WG: I hope that it doesn't effect me. I know my mother is innocent. I'll just have to let my performances speak for themselves.

CO: What are the goals that you would like to accomplish while playing in the NFL?

WG: Win the Super Bowl.

CO: Thank you for your time and this interview.

WG: Bye.

Wolf signs with De La Soil

Wolf Garrett officially signed with an agent this week, J. 'Truth' De La Soil. De La Soil is a former NFL player who was forced into early retirement due to injury. After retirement De La Soil decided to go to Law School at the University of Houston. After obtaining a lucrative job at a Law Firm in the San Antonio area, the NFL came calling. De La Soil couldn't turn his back on the sport that he loves so much. He decided to become and agent and represent players both on and off the field.

At his press conference De La Soil had this to say, "I am truly happy to represent someone like Mr. Garrett. I will pour my heart into making sure that this kid is taken care of." When asked about the accusation of Wolf's mother De La Soil said, "It's a lie. I trust Mr. Garrett and his mother. The NCAA will find nothing behind these claims. I hope the NFL teams wise up and look at how good this kid is, not at what some joker said about his momma." 

Number's Don't Lie

With the NCAA investigation looming over Wolf's head, we thought we would share Wolf's stats from the University of Oregon. As always, the numbers don't lie.

Stock Dropping?

An anonymous source outside of Kansas City has stated that Wolf Garrett's mother, Jenna Garrett, accepted money from Oregon boosters in order to renovate the Garrett family basement. The anonymous source made it clear that Mrs. Garrett accepted the money between Wolf's sophomore and junior years. If these allegations are true all of Wolf's statistics and awards would be stripped from his junior and senior years. Oregon would also have to forfeit all games from the seasons in question, including this years Rose Bowl and Pac-10 conference championship.

While would could not reach Jenna Garrett, Wolf did have this to say, "This is stupid, wrong, and totally made up. It doesn't even deserve a comment from me or my mother."

Despite the Garrett family swearing this incident is faulty, NFL teams are cautious. One NFL owner told me, "Wolf is a great kid. He could and probably will become a grade-a superstar in the NFL. However, this type of accusation in pretty detrimental to a players future. Many teams who had Wolf as their number one or two selection will have to reevaluate all of this."

The NCAA has sanction a full on investigation. Hopefully the air will be cleared in the next few weeks.

NFL: Here Comes the Wolf

Wolf officially made a statement saying that he would test the waters of the NFL. 

"I've given my life to Oregon football for the last 4 years. I love this sport. I love the fans, the practices, even the coaches. Even though I couldn't help bring a championship here to Eugene, I am now off to test my luck in the NFL. I have set up a few meetings with different agents. I'm looking forward to working out with a few different squads, and hopefully being drafted and contributing somewhere. I want to personally thank my family, friends, and coaches. You have all made this experience the best. I hope to talk to you again someday wearing an NFL jersey."

Wolf is expected to be a top 5 draft pick. 

Rose Bowl

Wolf Garrett finished out his collegiate career this weekend with a 31-18 win over Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Garrett threw for 213 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 INT. He also added another TD on the ground running for 52 yards. The game was never close. Oregon scored on it's first two possessions as well as a defensive score. The team jumped out to a quick 21-3 lead at halftime and never looked back. 

This was the only BCS bowl game Oregon made it to in Wolf's four year stellar career. He said that this season was "more than I could have hoped for in some ways, and less in others." Wolf here was referring to the fact that the Ducks missed the BCS championship game because of 1 loss. "I'm disappointed we didn't make it to the 'big one,' but it is nice to end my career with a W."

An NFL scout told me that Wolf will likely be drafted in the top 5, "There aren't many athletes that play like Wolf does. We are excited to see him in the NFL, as I know that the fans are. He is exceptional with the potential to make an impact immediately." When asked about his place in the draft all Wolf had to say was, "That would be awesome."

Wolf ended his collegiate career on a high note, let's hope he won't lose a step when he enters the NFL.
