Geno Smith has put that agonizingly long wait in the green room at the NFL draft far behind him.
Alabama's dominance once again carried over to the NFL draft.

The league says Wednesday that four players from national champion Alabama will be on hand at Radio City Music Hall. Four players from Florida State also will attend.
Who's the best athlete? The best quarterback? How about the emergence of the read-option and whether it will impact this year's NFL draft and free agency? A rundown of 10 story lines, none of them related to Manti Te'o, from the NFL combine:

Manti Te'o got a call from Dick Butkus on Monday morning, letting him know he was voted the nation's best linebacker. A few hours later, the Notre Dame star accepted the Bronko Nagurski Award as the nation's top defensive player.

"Oh, man, it's great," Milliner said. "We needed one more to make it four, but it's great anytime you have teammates selected that high in the draft, knowing the quality guys that they are."
Among those hoping to prove they will be healthy enough to play this season are running back Marcus Lattimore, trying to return from last fall's gruesome knee injury, and top-rated cornerback Dee Milliner, who said he will undergo surgery next month for a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
