USC safety Knight returns as graduate assistant

Former USC safety Sammy Knight was hired by Trojans coach Lane Kiffin as a graduate assistant coach and will work with the secondary.

Knight spent 12 years in the NFL after he left USC, playing for New Orleans, Miami, Jacksonville, Kansas City and the New York Giants. He made the Pro Bowl in 2002 while playing for the Saints.

Knight replaces another former USC player, Kris Richard, who was hired by Pete Carroll as an assistant with the Seattle Seahawks. Knight's older brother, Ryan, was a USC tailback from 1984-87 while his younger brother, Darryl, played linebacker from 1998-2000.

Looks like your Rams are picking Sam Bradford to be their QB.

Hey Snowman! What about Clausen, I hate him but at least he can play under center.

Clausen may have the higher upside

But the Rams don’t want to wait for that upside to show and probably want to go safe with Bradford, who has accomplished things Clausen hasn’t.

Wow I can't believe they are making him their #1, maybe a trade in the works.

I don’t feel Bradford or McCoy are that sturdy for the NFL., but we shall see.

No One Else Has Reported it but Wolfie

USC has not made it official. Some websites reported the possibility that Knight would be hired last week. But Wolfie is the only one so far that has published this tidbit.

Makes you wonder.

LOL.
