NFL Draft Prospect
Interview: Randell Means, CB, Howard
by Michael Abromowitz,
4/12/08. Randell Means may lack the ideal size
and big name school, but don't try to tell him that. He did after
all go to college in the nation's capital and studied Political
Science, so he may know a little bit about debating. After
watching game film though, I don't think there is much debate.
Means can play and should be a solid sleeper in the draft.
