Ready For A Close-Up

This year's NFL Draft "green room" will be packed like never before. A record 25 rookies will be attending this year's NFL Draft. Initially, there was speculation that the rookies would boycott the draft in a show of support towards the players union that they would soon be joining. Now, the lockout is technically "over" pending an appeal, and Roger Goodell has apparently made this NFL Draft a "come one, come all" type of party. Here's a list of the 25 players that will take the stage.
