I always get a good chuckle when I read that fans think a player may not get taken in the NFL draft because his school doesn't play on TV often or doesn't receive a lot of media coverage.

The media only wishes it had that much power. In reality if a player can play, rest assured the NFL scouts will find them if it's a low profile Division I-A team, a I-AA team, Division II, Division III or even high school.

The point is Frantz Joseph won't be hurt because he played at FAU and didn't play on TV often. Scouts scour the nation and go out of their way to find players who might be considered below the radar.

That said, Joseph has gotten plenty of attention - including an ESPN piece to air on Sunday - since he was named the Defensive MVP of the Texas vs. Nation game.

That can only help, but whether Joseph becomes the first player from FAU drafted - and I'm guessing he will - will only have to do with what kind of professional player the scouts think he can be.
