kelly Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 per cimini ; In an interview with Daily News colleague Ralph Vacchiano tonight on Sirius Radio, Sam Houston State QB Rhett Bomar said he had a private workout with Jets officials shortly after the scouting combine last month.Bomar actually began his college career at Oklahoma, but he was tossed out in 2006 for breaking some NCAA rules. He landed at Sam Houston, where he made himself a likely draft pick. He isn't highly rated; most scouting services have him listed as the fifth- to seventh-best quarterback, which means he'll probably be a late-round pick. Hey, but he has a great name -- Rhett Bomar. Sounds like a quarterback name, doesn't it? So far, the Jets have conducted private withouts with at least two quarterbacks -- Bomar and Kansas State's Josh Freeman -- and they're scheduled for a workout with USC's Mark Sanchez. That, I'm guessing, could be next week, when the Jets' honchos are in California for the owners' meetings in Dana Point.Oh, by the way, Bomar's agent is Bus Cook, the same guy who represents Brett Favre and Jay Cutler. If the Jets draft Bomar, we can only assume they'll be a big off-season firestorm at some point in his career. Bomar told our man Vacchiano that he recently visited Favre at his home in Mississippi. Ralph tried to get Bomar to dish something that Favre told him about the Jets, but Bomar didn't bite. It was worth a shot.Us media types like to report these private workouts, but the truth of the matter is, it doesn't mean the team really wants to pick that player. There are hundreds of private workouts each spring and, in most cases, the team is simply on a fact-finding mission. So let's not put too much emphasis on these workouts.

We are talking with Rett Bomar and we're worried about this bun from Denver. LOL Ahhhhhhh The old "Kansas City Shuffle." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Could this be a favor to Bus Cook? Get his little known client some exposure in exchange for help with his other client? Don't scoff. It has happened with other agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
