http://www.draftnasty.com Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:25:38 CST http://www.draftnasty.com/football_content/videos/moss-feeling-the-heat-part-one-trailer/ While some professional athletes use the heat and elements of summer to train inside, others relish the sweat, pain and humidity of the steamy, yet often grueling conditions. For New England Patriots' 13-year pro Randy Moss, it's all about South Florida when it's time to grind. In a part one snippet of his upcoming documentary 'Moss feeling the heat', DraftNasty learns that both Moss and eight-year trainer Tim Martin turn up the volume when under the sun.

After transferring from the JUCO ranks, Brown went on to record 21 QB sacks and 49.5 TFLs over a two-year period for the Cougars (Nation-leading 30 TFLs in 2011).

A big reason the Bearcats were able to claw their way to a comeback victory was the play of senior RB Isaiah Pead. The 2011 Liberty Bowl MVP rushed for 148 yards and a key TD run late in the team's 31-24 victory. Vanderbilt CB Casey Hayward (Vanderbilt's Outstanding Defensive Player of the Game), Cincinnati LB JK Schaffer (Cincinnati's Outstanding Defensive Player of the Game) and Bearcat DT Derek Wolfe also left favorable final impressions on their collegiate resumes'.

After helping to lead the Ragin' Cajuns to last Saturday's New Orleans Bowl championship, he's now in preparation for the Senior Bowl. He looks to continue the tradition set by former Louisiana-Lafayette cornerbacks Ike Taylor and Charles Tillman, both currently starring in the NFL. DraftNasty.com caught up with some of the team's senior leaders following their bowll victory. We found a close-knit group starving for a long overdue championship.

This past season, while leading the Badgers to the Big Ten Championship, he continued to protect the ball. The former pro baseball player tossed 31 touchdowns to just 3 interceptions while connecting on 72.5% of his passes. Aside from lacking elite size and arm strength, Wilson has very few flaws.

What's more eye-catching is that before this season, he lost one of his top vertical threats from 2010, WR Josh Gordon (suspended), but he did return the school's all-time leading receiver, Kendall Wright. DraftNasty took a look at the trio this past summer when previewing the 2011 Baylor Bears.

The only thing missing from his impressive resume' was a signature victory. This past Saturday in Waco, he blazed trails to even new heights during what has been an unthinkable season to date. His last minute 34-yd TD pass to Terrance Williams with :08 left capped off a thrilling 45-38 victory over the 5th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners.

However, for the second year in a row, the pair was unable to finish the season due to injury. Michael (2011-899 yds, 8 TDs) went down with a torn ACL against Oklahoma a year after his season ended prematurely with a broken leg against Texas Tech in October 2010. It is still uncertain whether Gray (2011-1,032 yds rushing, 12 TDs) will play for the Aggies in the team's bowl game against Northwestern after he suffered a stress fracture in his shoulder that forced him to miss the season finale vs. Texas. Before the injuries, the pair had combined for 1,632 yards and 15 rushing touchdowns.
