The Other Side of the NFL Draft: One player waits for the call
The NFL and Chicago will be the center of the sporting world Thursday night and into Saturday, the league spending millions of dollars to put on its biggest show since the Super Bowl. Players and agents have descended on the Windy City with new suits and sparkling that promise a fat paycheck down the road. For many players, however, it's all about waiting on a phone call.

Eric has his priorities in place knowing it's the next game

The next day, the next level and the next pro bowl. I'm going out on a limb, considering he transitioned from TE to a guard, I believe if he stays injury free he could make it to the pro bowl level.
Eric is a big reason we made it to 14-0 playing in the National Championship.
He was vital in helping Mitch Hyatt be prepared and he helped bring the OL together after many said the OL was a question mark last season.
I can't imagine any team that wouldn't want to add a grounded stable guy like Eric to their field and locker rooms.
I hope the Dolphins draft Eric and Joe if possible.
Go Tigers!

I seriously thought he would be in the 2nd round at least. Hope he gets the call hes looking for & deserves. Itll be a sad day for the Clemson Tigers if he doesn't get called.

Early round picks cost teams big bucks......I think there is a good chance of a draft. Don't worry Eric, you are a hoss and your day will come.

M. Alexander may even go 2nd round. There are some serious studs in the 2nd round. I really would love see him get drafted. I think he will stick in the NFL if he is given his chance, which I think he will. Jeff Saturday is an all time great OL and he wasn't drafted. Jason Peters wasn't drafted either.

I really hope he is drafted but if not I would really hope that Clemson would pursue him to be part of the Clemson program...one of my favorite players to watch over the past 55 years and definitely my favorite to listen to of all time! Somebody in the NFL wake up and give the man a shot!

This guy is getting drafted. Period. Whomever drafts him, will have me as a fan because they obviously can see talent that isn't just the re-tweeted garbage.

I can't help but think of players like Big Mac when the draft comes around. There's a lot of kids with NFL dreams and a lot of talent that won't get a call this weekend. I, for one, hope that he gets to live his dream and put on one of those jerseys. Regardless, I will always remember the name Eric MacLain. I'll always be a fan. Come see me in Asheville. I'll buy you a drink. Good luck, sir.

I've really enjoyed hearing what Big MACk truck Lain (not sure if that's been used as a nick name for him) has had to say for the past year or so.
Makes me proud to be a Tiger regardless of what happens with him in the draft. Best of luck!
