Joe is fired up about 2009 NFL Draft coverage coming soon

Joe knows you’re quietly counting the days until the NFL Draft.

Sure, free agency is fun, so is the combine and mini-camp, but the draft is your day.

Yours to spend tailgating in front of the big screen and watching the Bucs’ future unfold before your eyes.

On Saturday, tune in to “The Blitz” on 620 AM, The Sports Animal, for a major announcement about 2009 NFL Draft coverage. Check in with host Justin Pawlowski about 5 p.m., during a special 3 p.m to 7 p.m. broadcast of The Blitz.

Joe is very excited. In fact, he is scheduled to be on the air with Pawlowski at roughly 5 p.m.

In the meantime, check out Volume 2 of Pawlowski’s Bucs Draft Rewind. This time he looks at 1997, the Warrick Dunn/Reidel Anthony/Ronde Barber year.

Intersting to note  – and this is Joe’s note – Anthony (16th overall pick) caught seven more touchdowns in his five years in Tampa than Michael Clayton (15th pick in 2004) has grabbed in his five seasons.
