I'm pretty sure McGraw was quite a bit faster than Menzie when he was young. It seems from reading those scouting reports Menzie is a smart kid who was in all the right places but with all the pressure the rest of the Bama D put on teams, it couldn't have been to difficult to make breaks on the ball and be there to wrap up when you know teams are going to be throwing short most of the time. |

I feel like Hartman is a younger more athletic version of McGraw. I am really happy we took a chance on him. I bet he makes the team. He isn't the most physically gifted guy, but he is incredibly smart and he's always around the ball.

I agree with you, RVM. I was pleased when we got Hartman. I also think he makes the team or at least I hope he does. Every time I watched a KSU game (even tho it was not many). I also was saw him make a play or two. |

For all the talk of Hartman, here's the Mothership's write up on him - http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/article-2/Former-K-State-safety-Hartman-brings-local-flare-to-Chiefs-defensive-backfield/952d77d9-35fa-442c-a8a2-b863c8040090
| Quote: | With 69 tackles and three interceptions, the senior safety helped guide the Wildcats to their best season in more than a decade and earned an invite to participate in the 2012 East-West Shrine Game.
Off the field, Hartman graduated in three-and-a-half years with a finance degree and qualified for the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Role every semester of his playing career. He was also named a National Football Foundation National Scholar-Athlete, becoming the first Wildcat football player to earn the honor since 1996.
A Hays, Kan. native, Hartman prepped at Kapaun Mt. Carmel High School in Wichita where he was a three-year starter at both quarterback and defensive back. He actually began his college career at quarterback before moving to the defensive backfield midway through his redshirt freshman season. |
Wasn't McGraw a former QB too?

Another feel good story on one of our UDFA's - http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/article-2/Haitian-upbringing-key-in-Fanor’s-NFL-journey/c521be06-de2a-4af3-9e00-57d17647e771
| Quote: | Fanor (6-1, 200 lbs.) played in 37 games for the Wildcats, starting 22 of them over the course of his four-year career. He notched three career interceptions with 13 passes defensed. He also forced two fumbles and recovered two fumbles at Bethune-Cookman. During his first season at safety (2009-2010), he helped the defense lead the nation in third down efficiency in the FCS. He redshirted in 2010 because of a foot injury.
Fanor used to be a two-way player at Bethune-Cookman who played wide receiver and running back in addition to cornerback. He averaged 18.2 yards per catch before becoming a full-time defensive back in 2009. He also caught one touchdown during his brief stint as a wideout.
In Haiti, Jean Fanor was robbed on his way to school every day. The muggers would take everything he had—even what little lunch money his parents could spare. If he ran, they could catch him. Fanor quickly learned to fight back if he wanted to eat that day.
That fight-or-flight mentality he learned in Haiti translated well to the football field when Fanor moved to Miami (Fla.) when he was ten years old. Like Haitian-born NFL stars Jason Pierre-Paul, Pierre Garcon and others, Fanor had limited football experience before he moved to the U.S., but quickly became a star on the field—first at North Miami High School, and then as a member of the Bethune-Cookman (Fla.) Wildcats. |
Obviously, you can't help but root for this guy. I really hope we give this guy a shot at the PS if he's not ready to play just yet.
