Point No. 1
Oregon's Patrick Chung is one of those highly versatile players who could help an NFL team right away as a rookie.
The four-year starter at safety finished his collegiate career with 384 tackles, fourth all-time in that category for Oregon, and first among all players who were not linebackers. But in addition to being a hard-hitting defensive back with great instincts, Chung played special teams throughout his career, even during his senior year when he notched 14 special teams tackles. He was a two-time Special Teams Player of the Year for the Ducks.

"Special teams is a fun part of the game for me," he said during a phone interview this week. "Defense is focus, focus, focus and make the plays. Special teams is just fun, it's a 40-yard fist-fight."

Chung also returned kickoffs late in his junior season and averaged 25.6 yards per return during his senior year. And he returned punts earlier in his career.

Ironically, although he has a take-no-prisoners mentality on the field, he's totally content to be out of the spotlight when he's off the field.

"I've always been a very humble person. I'm probably one of the most laid-back people you'll know," Chung said. "I like to be at home, watch TV, watch a little film. That's just me."

With his ability to play either safety position, his wide variety of special teams experience, and his well-grounded temperament, Chung's drawing a lot of interest from NFL teams. The Eagles, Browns, Broncos and Panthers are among the many teams Chung's worked out for so far. His next workout is with the Atlanta Falcons. And the Patriots, Eagles, Saints and Chargers are just a few of the teams that he's scheduled to visit over the next few weeks.

The one memory of P-Chung I will always have was against ASU this year. Carpenter drops back and Chung comes off the line looking for blood and blindsides Rudy. The next offensive possession for the ducks, the cameraman showed Carpenter on the sideline spitting out blood. That dude's gonna do work on sunday's
