Blaine Gabbert to Be On Cover of Sports Illustrated

Former Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert has had an exciting 3 or 4 months.

After deciding to skip his senior season at Mizzou and announcing himself eligible for this year's NFL draft, Gabbert watched his stock soar up the draft boards.  Some draft experts still believe he could be the first overall selection in the draft.

Certainly exciting.

But, one of the most exciting honors in any athlete's life is being on the cover of Sports Illustrated and Blaine Gabbert will share that honor on the April 25th issue.

Gabbert will be featured with fellow quarterback prospects Jake Locker and Cam Newton as the magazine features its pre-draft coverage.

Hopefully being on the cover doesn't give Gabbert any bad karma, but it certainly is exciting to see a kid from Ballwin, Missouri going to such big places.
