Deon Anderson drafted

With the Randy Moss conference call scuttlebutt, we didn't see that Providence native Deon Anderson had been drafted, 195th overall by Dallas.

Anderson, a fullback, played at Hope and Avon Old Farms before a career at UConn. Though he had personal and academic problems that caused him to leave the school for the 2005 season, Anderson returned to the Huskies in 2006 and was the team's MVP.

A 5-foot-10, 236 pounder, scouts have tabbed Anderson as a good short-area blocker who could have a good career as a special teams ace.
