Got to believe Dane will find a job this fall after this interview. You always wonder what the QB thinks about his WRs. Now that we know that Gruden loves this guy because he's tough and reliable, you wonder what the other coaches think.

Don?t Forget About Me: Ohio State WR Dane Sanzenbacher Should Find a Home Quickly
AUTHOR: Sayre Bedinger | IN: NFL Draft |

Dane Sanzenbacher is one gem that fell through the cracks. Will your team snatch him up?

Stuck in limbo throughout this whole lockout process are the undrafted rookies who can?t get access to team playbooks, and really, these are the only guys who have to both put their degrees to use right away but also stay in shape while they hope to make an NFL roster sooner rather than later.

One of those guys is Academic All Big 10 performer three years running (08-10), Ohio State wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher. I knew Sanzenbacher was a good player being that I am a Big Ten fan, but I never really realized how many big plays this guy made until they put a magnifying glass on him (of sorts) during the Terrelle Pryor ESPN special with Jon Gruden.

Simply put, the fact that this kid went undrafted was a mistake, but that will just be even more motivation for him as he embarks on the next part of his football career. As a senior, Sanzenbacher had 55 receptions for 948 yards and 11 touchdowns. He is a valuable player in so many ways, and he really saved the game against Arkansas to help Ohio State win the Sugar Bowl when he recovered a fumble in the end zone.

At about 6?0″ 185 pounds, Sanzenbacher is not a physically imposing receiver. He doesn?t have elite level speed and he?s not strong enough to get consistent separation from defensive backs. Still, he was one of the most productive receivers in a tough conference, and he?s got what you like to call the ?It? factor.

So with the lockout being over, what is going to happen with Dane now? How soon can teams contact him or sign him? Anyone know?

Teams can sign drafted players and undrafted rookies starting tomorrow.

Teams can sign free agents (with NFL experience) on Friday.

7) Dane Sanzenbacher/WR/Ohio State: The former Buckeye wowed scouts with his pass-catching in college but poor measurables (5-feet, 11 inches, 182 pounds, 4.55-seconds in the 40) pushed him out of a draft that was deep at the receiver position. Scouts feel Sanzenbacher will have a productive career as a slot receiver in the NFL. His talents are well suited for the Seattle Seahawks or Denver Broncos, two teams searching for depth and youth at the receiver position.

Please God let the Bears sign him. The Bears desperately need a wide receiver who can consistently catch the ball.

Bite your tongue. Dear God, I pray that the Bears are not his best option at the next level. As if the Bears could figure out what to do with a receiver who can catch...
