Three Bulls in the NFL

Linebacker Stephen Nicholas was selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the 109th pick in the fourth round. Nicholas becomes the second highest drafted player from South Florida behind Kawika Mitchell, the 47th pick in the 2003 NFL Draft.

Nicholas is expected to bolster the Falcons defense, which includes linebackers Keith Brooking, Jordan Beck, Demorrio Williams, John Leake and Michael Boley. With an injury to Williams, Nicholas has an opportunity to earn a starting position once training camp begins.

Brooking will be the starting middle linebacker while Nicholas is battling for time at either outside linebacker positions.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed wide receiver Ean Randolph in an attempt to fill the void left by Dante Hall, who was dealt to the St. Louis Rams. Randolph led the Bulls in punt returns with 370 yards and a touchdown and receiving with 49 receptions, 506 yards and four touchdowns.

The Minnesota Vikings agreed to terms with safety Jeremy Burnett, joining Darren Sharper, Dwight Smith, Greg Blue and Will Hunter at the position. Burnett started 12 games for the Bulls last season and intercepted two passes.
