Just like it's never truly football offseason here at Rock M Nation, football season never really ends for any of SB Nation. Whether it's the Rams, Chiefs, Bears, Cowboys, or for long-tortured Bill C., the Dolphins, there's an SBN community awaiting your NFL hot sports opinions. 

Right now, NFL Draft talk is hot and heavy, and the SBN College blogs are here to help. To help supplement coverage at The Mothership and at Mocking the Draft, the various SBN college blogs will be providing draft profiles for their first and second round talent. For us here at RMN, that's just another excuse to talk about one man: Franklin DeSean Weatherspoon, or alternatively, "SPOOOOOOOOOOOON!"

As we put a wrap on the roller coaster ride of a rebuilding season in 2009, I've decided to ask for the community's help in fashioning the 2009 Mizzou All-Season Team. Just like I did in 2007 before the Cotton Bowl, putting together the All-Season Team will help recognize the top performances of the season at each position this past year.

Today, we find one a performance to join the All-Season Team at the safety spot opposite Jasper Simmons. As always, feel free to nominate other performances in the comments. Nominees after the jump.

Today, we search out Carl Gettis' top performance throughout a season in which it was his sporadic absences at times that probably hurt Mizzou the most. Once again, feel free to nominate other performances in the comments section. Defensive secondary performances can be highly subjective and numbers can be misleading, so help me out here. Nominees after the jump.

Today, we'll take the top two performances from Missouri defensive tackles. Of course, interior line is one of the hardest positions for amateur eyes to evaluate, so, by all means, please feel free to point out performances I missed in the comments. Nominees after the jump.
