Mike Mohamed Going Mile High, Selected By Denver Broncos In Sixth Round

by Avinash Kunnath on Apr 30, 2011 1:48 PM PDT in Bears in the Pros

Apparently John Elway didn't come to the Big Game to just root on Andrew Luck and the Furd.

Mike Mohamed gets to join his old battery-mate Syd'Quan Thompson, as he gets picked up by the Denver Broncos in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Mohamed is all-around solid and has a high IQ that could be essential to his survival in the league, plus he's able to make plays on the ball and occasionally get pressure on the quarterback. He's one of the most productive Cal linebackers of all time, and it's hard to not see him fitting somewhere in the league in the near future.

Mohamed has his work cut out for him in Denver. The linebacking corps is stuffed, and he'll have to perform very well in training camp to earn a spot. But a good performance could ensure that he ends up playing somewhere, whether on the practice squad or on the 53 man roster this season (if there is a season)

Cal fans, let Broncos fans know about the type of player they got in Mohamed at our Denver SB Nation site, Mile High Report! For Broncos fans dropping by, check out our posts on Mohamed.

GO BEARS!

The Broncos chose Syd'Quan Thompson late in last year's draft

That worked out pretty well for him and the Broncos. Hope we end up saying the same for Mikey Mo.

Yes, I am an Old Blue. Now get off my lawn.

Hooray for Mike! He’s going to be the steal of the 2011 draft!

Just wish he was staying local.

Did anyone notice that ESPN, during their NFL Draft coverage, completely missed Mike’s selection?

They skip over a lot in the later rounds. NFL Network does the same.

I’ve been watching the ESPN coverage today and every few minutes, they will show a graphic summarizing the latest picks that were chosen since the last update. During one of the updates, they showed two graphics, one graphic ending with pick 188 and the other starting with pick 190.

Just being very nit-picky here. It’s nice to see Mike get drafted.

I could swear they flashed the pick on the bottom quarter of the screen when it happened. The talking heads were talking about something else, but the pick was up there contemporaneously.

At some point I’ll have to let go of the fact that Elway was on the Broncos, but I still don’t like Cal guys heading to Denver. Oh well, congrats to MikeyMo regardless!

Did anyone know that Devin BIshop

is currently signed to the Broncos? I just checked their depth chart, and he’s slotted at the backup inside spot. Hmmm!

Do you have a link?

I think he was waived by the Broncos back in August of 2010.

Alright, and after it's all over, you say "Ooh, what a lovely tea party"

You’re probably right. I just saw it on the Broncos depth chart. Probably old.

No worries! ESPN is the DMV of college sports (Except for Ted Miller).
