(Congrats to Ray Rice. He will be remembered well for his days in the Big East)


NEW YORK, N.Y. – Two-time Rutgers All-America running back Ray Rice (New Rochelle, N.Y.) was selected in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens. The nation's second-leading rusher in 2007, Rice rushed for 2,012 yards and scored 25 touchdowns in 2007 to help lead Rutgers to its third straight bowl and second consecutive bowl victory.


"The Baltimore Ravens are getting a tremendous player and person in Ray Rice," said Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano. "Ray proved at the college level that he was one of the elite players in the nation and I think he will have an outstanding NFL career as well. It will be exciting to watch Ray join his former backfield mate (Brian Leonard, St. Louis Rams) in the NFL. I look forward to watching Ray run on Sundays."

Yeah, Rice was a heck of a college back. Will that translate well in the pros? Hard to say, but I'm rootin' for the kid. I think he can be successful.
