Also among the unsigned players trying out was veteran Kyle Turley, who has battled back trouble and last played in 2003 for the St. Louis Rams. He's trying to make a switch from tackle to tight end, and his weight is listed at 260 pounds. ``Here's a player who has had some success in this league,'' Saban said. ``It's an opportunity for us to look at him and see if he does have any potent |

ST. LOUIS (AP) -Signing the son of actor Denzel Washington on Monday ensured the St. Louis Rams of making a splash the day after the NFL draft ended. John David Washington, a 5-foot-10, 200-pound running back was among 10 undrafted players signed by the Rams. He played for Division II Morehouse College last year. ``This is all a good story,'' Rams coach Scott Linehan said. ``I hope he's a good running back.'' Washington had a school-record 1,198 yards with a 5.6-yard average and nine touchdowns, and |

He said the Giants project him at tight end, a position he played in high school, or offensive tackle, a position he has never played. The St. Louis Rams made a similar move Monday, signing Connecticut basketball player Ed Nelson to a free agent contract. Nelson, a 6-foot-8, 265-pound power forward, also has not played football since high school. Lewis, 23, is listed on George Mason's roster at 6-f |

STORRS, Conn. (AP) -Connecticut basketball player Ed Nelson signed a two-year, free-agent deal with the St. Louis Rams on Sunday following the NFL draft. ``I didn't think I'd get drafted,'' said Nelson, expected to play tight end. ``It's risky for a team to draft me, but a lot of teams know my potential.'' Nelson, a 6-foot-8, 265-pound senior power forward, hasn't played football since his freshman year of high school. Nelson, from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., played 29 games as a reserve for the UConn bas |

I feel great.'' Armey said he became dizzy with accompanying chest pains and high blood pressure Saturday, and spent the night at Missouri Baptist Hospital as a precaution.

Yes, sir,'' Heflin gasps and covers her mouth. James hops up and down with glee. The St. Louis Rams will take Adeyanju with the 113th pick of the draft. Adeyanju is still on the phone when his name is called, but he pumps his fist and grins. Charles gives him a high-five and a hug, then turns to hug Heflin. ``I'm numb,'' she says. ``I'm so num |
