NFL DRAFT BIBLE DAILY DOSE 3/23

CALEB CAMPBELL UPDATE
Caleb Campbell, a strong safety for the Cadets, will be “excused from his five-year service commitment” if he lands on an NFL roster. Sports Illustrated reports that his military responsibilities would be to “serve as a recruiter for the Army during and after the NFL season, speaking to young people and working at the local recruiting office wherever he plays. … If he doesn’t hook on with a pro team, he’ll return to the Army for five years.” That’s a long-term contract of a different kind than the typical NFL deal.

MARSHALL INCURS ACCIDENT
Brandon Marshall recently slipped and fell through a television at his home and gashed his arm, according to NFL Network's Adam Schefter.

KEITH BROOKING UPDATE
Falcons linebacker Keith Brooking said he had arthroscopic knee surgery in January to repair damage that he said he should have had fixed during the Falcons' 2007 season. Brooking, a 10-year veteran of the Falcons and the NFL, enters offseason workouts Monday as one of the few remaining players from the 2004 team that played in the NFC championship game.

KICKER CAROUSEL IN DENVER
While the Denver Post suggests that the Broncos front office will talk with free agent kickers Olindo Mare and John Carney, the team will give the first crack at replacing Jason Elam to Matt Prater, who was undrafted out of Central Florida in 2006. "Those are huge shoes to fill. I'll try not to compare myself to him," Prater said. "I'll have to keep that out of my mind. I don't think anybody can fill his shoes. But I'll be me and do the best I can."

PARCELLS COMMENTS ON FORST PICK
This is the third time Parcells has walked into a job and inherited the first pick in the draft. “I'm not sure anybody is interested in the pick," Parcells said. "The economics of the pick are a little more devastating if it doesn't work out. You have to have some willing partners of the trade-down thing. We're in position where we are assuming we are going to make the pick.”
