The 6th Annual SR.com "Official" Mock Draft 7th Round: Complete

With its meager and unheralded 5th selection in the SR.com 2013 mock draft, Arizona selects SMU Fullback Zach Line

And with a hat tip to Bob Sturm at 1310 The Ticket in Dallas, Arizona has picked the ultimate lunch pail. While Zach is not athletic, explosive, or instinctive, he is the hardest worker in the history of college football. He is a smart player, and knows not only what the defense is doing but what the opposing team's offense is talking about on the sideline.

The coaches love Zach. He's a practice field rat, and relishes working out when there are lightning strikes, hail and wind gusts present. He helps the maintenance crew draw the lime chalk lines on the field. He's been seen with a post-hole digger to make sure the goal posts are set properly in place.

In the film room, they have set up a cot for him and he wears a catheter bag so he does not have to lose time studying the video. He insists on studying analog film and video and not the fancy new digital pad thingies.

During games, he brings his playbook in the huddle and goes over assignments with each unit. He's just a smart, hard-working, tough, tough-minded player, always-thinking how he can help his football team succeed every second.

Here's his photo montage.
