With your nick and knowledge, I assume you're a fellow Trojan and already realize the following, which I state for others: the Patriots' drafting of Cassell, in light of his nearly nonexistent college experience, simply illustrates SC's incredible depth.
Yup... and here's an even more incredible sign of their depth... John David Booty, National HS Player of the Year for 2002, may never start a game for USC... He's played behind Palmer, Leinart, and may very well be playing behind Mark Sanchez for the next two years.
