Christo Bilukidi and Carson Rockhill will both have a terrific opportunity next month to enhance their stock with pro football coaches. nfl jerseys china. The Canadian-born linemen will both take part in The Players All-Star Classic, a college football all-star game that will be played in Little Rock, Ark., on Feb. 4. Forty of the players scheduled to suit up are expected to strut their stuff at the NFL combine, which annually attracts the top draft-eligible collegians to audition for scouts, coaches and GMs with all 32 clubs. In addition, officials representing NFL and CFL teams are also expected attend the All-Star classic. The six-foot-five, 295-pound Bilukidi was a two-year starter at Georgia State who played primarily at defensive tackle but also saw action at defensive end. The native of Angola, who grew up in Ottawa and was named a team captain for the 2011 campaign, led the Panthers with five sacks and also had nine tackles for a loss, 38 defensive tackles, a fumble recovery and forced fumble. In 2010 he was voted the Panthers top defensive lineman by his teammates and his 10 career sacks stand as a school record. Last month, Bilukidi, whose father is an Angolan diplomat, was ranked No. 12 among the top-15 prospects for the 2012 Canadian college draft by the CFLs scouting bureau. The six-foot-six, 292-pound Rockhill earned his all-star nomination following a strong 2011 season with the University of Calgary after backing up Canada West outstanding lineman Paul Swiston at left tackle in 2010. The Dinos finished atop the Canada West standings with an 8-0 record this season and defeated UBC 62-13 to capture the Hardy Cup before dropping a 41-10 decision to Laval in the Mitchell Bowl. A solid performance at The Players All-Star Classic certainly wouldnt hurt Rockhills CFL draft stock. He wasnt named among the top-15 draft-eligible prospects by the leagues scouting bureau last month. jerseys from china .

The Browns have relaxed their media limitations to see rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel practice.PARIS -- France will look to teen centre Gael Fickou to provide the creative spark against an Ireland team desperate to give Brian ODriscoll a perfect send-off in their final Six Nations match on Saturday, with both teams still in contention to win the tournament. After several substitute appearances, the 19-year-old Fickou makes his first start of the campaign as one of four changes to face an Irish team full of attacking menace after scoring 13 tries so far. The midfield contest between Fickou and the 35-year-old ODriscoll promises to be an intriguing one between the worlds most capped player and one looking to become a future great. "The speed and youth of Gael Fickou gives us some interesting options. Hes in form and we need to see him express his talent," France coach Philippe Saint-Andre said. "It will be a real challenge for him and Mathieu Bastareaud against a good pair of centres. But we believe in him. Hes settled in our squad now and is feeling good both mentally and physically." Fickou, who scored a dramatic late winning try in the 26-24 win over England, replaces Maxime Mermoz, ineffective in last weekends 19-17 win at Scotland, while the other change in the backs sees flyhalf Remi Tales replacing Jules Plisson. France, Ireland and England -- which plays in Italy -- have six points each and can all still win the tournament. Ireland has by far the best points differential (+81) of the three title contenders, while France has the worst (+3) behind England (+32). France has to beat Ireland and hope England draws or loses in Rome to stand a realistic chance of winning the trophy. "We will try and put in a great performance, and if we manage to please our fans it will be a bonus," Saint-Andre said. "Were preparing ourselves for a match of the highest level after drawing the last two seasons against them." History counts against Ireland in Paris, where they havent won since 2000, but they have an extra incentive this time. ODriscoll makes his 141st test appearance in a brilliant 15-year career on the same ground where he scored a hat trick of tries in 2000 to give Ireland its first victory in Paris since 1972. "We dont want to make it ODriscolls party," Saint-Andre said. Fourteen years ago, a fresh-faced ODriscoll burst onto the international scene with three expertly-taken tries in Irelands 27-25 win, his blend of speed, flair, safe hands and attacking instinct marking him out as one of the players for the future. wholesale jerseys. Fickou now finds himself in a similar position and is earmarked as a future great. Last weekend, ODriscoll pushed back the years with one of his best performances in the green jersey of Ireland. Although he did not add to his 46 international tries, he played a part in three of his teams first four tries in a crushing 46-7 win over Italy at Lansdowne Road. "Hes a great player, and hes been a great servant to Irish rugby and to world rugby. When he arrived on the scene at Stade de France, he was an unknown and he scored three tries," Saint-Andre said. "He could have been French because he had incredible flair, a capacity to keep the ball alive, to make a pass after contact. He captained the British Lions, he captained Ireland and hes brought so much to world rugby." Tales will line up alongside scrumhalf Maxime Machenaud in the 12th halves pairing Saint-Andre has selected since taking over from Marc Lievremont after France lost the 2011 World Cup final to New Zealand. Saint-Andre was disappointed with Plissons defending against Scotland. "Plissons statistics in defence were not good enough," Saint-Andre said. The two changes in the forwards see Dimitri Szarzewski returning from injury to replace Brice Mach and Louis Picamoles reinstated at flanker in place of Sebastien Vahaamahina. France won its opening two matches of the tournament but then lost 27-6 at Wales before edging past Scotland in another error-strewn performance lacking in creativity. "If I have to take the blame for it then so be it, but leave my players out of it," Saint-Andre said. France was previously dominant in the scrum but has struggled to get to grips with rule changes and has also been ineffective in the lineouts. "The problem rests with us, we have to concentrate on our throws and our jumps," No. 8 Damien Chouly said. "We must be more demanding of ourselves and each other." Saint-Andre said that Picamoles and Chouly will switch positions during the match. ------ France: Brice Dulin, Yoann Huget, Mathieu Bastareaud, Gael Fickou, Maxime Medard, Remi Tales, Maxime Machenaud; Damien Chouly, Alexandre Lapandry, Louis Picamoles, Yoann Maestri, Pascal Pape (captain), Nicolas Mas, Dimitri Szarzewski, Thomas Domingo. Reserves: Guilhem Guirado, Vincent Debaty, Rabah Slimani, Alexandre Flanquart, Sebastien Vahaamahina, Wenceslas Lauret, Jean-Marc Doussain, Maxime Mermoz.cheap jerseys cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
