Caption This: Ravens' draft pick nearly loses ball

Every Monday we share with you a photograph that catches our eye. We provide a couple of possible captions, and you can try your hand at one or two of your own. Check out previous editions of Caption This by clicking here. And for more fun with photos, check out the Sun's Caption Call blog.

-- The Baltimore Ravens' scouts winced when they viewed film of Cedric Peerman. Full of mercy, they selected him in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. As a signing bonus, Ozzie Newsome offered Peerman a dozen bags of ice.

-- Former Virginia tailback Cedric Peerman was originally projected as a first-round pick. But at the NFL Combine, team GMs and scouts began to question his toughness when they spoke to him and discovered he talks a lot like Michael Jackson.

-- "I don't know why anyone's looking at me funny. You hear about the Ravens' second-round pick? That dude is missing more organs than I am."

-- In accordance with the NFL's new rookie orientation plan, all incoming rookies are given a temporary vasectomy before their first professional game.

-- New Maryland slogan: Fear the Snapping Turtle!

-- Asked about making the leap to the NFL, Cedric Peerman told reporters he was fairly certain the tough AFC North wouldn't be near as painful as the frisky ACC.

I said to hold that BLOCK!

Skinner was always noted for his ball-handling skills.

"Coach told me to strip the ball from Peerman if he runs my way..."

He thought his name was Cedric Peeman and had to react fast..

Skinner takes the advice of his coach on the sideline when he said, "I don't care how you stop him, but you have got to get your hands on that Peerman guy and bring him down!"

CUP CHECK!

Eugene Skinner thinks at this point in time during the University of Virginia game, "I hope this is never caught on film and then used in some newspapers web site add the caption contest."

Oops, wrong ball!
