2011 NFL Draft - ESPN's Erin Andrews Chats-Up Top Draft Prospects On Twitter

Suburban New York - One of the perks of being a top 2011 NFL Draft Prospect is the chance to have your photo taken with ESPN's super-hot, super-star college football reporter Erin Andrews, then chat with her on Twitter.

That's exactly what happened to Alabama's Marcell Dareus (in photo with Andrews), Auburn's Nick Fairley, Missouri's Blaine Gabbert, LSU's Patrick Peterson, and Prince Amukamara, who later Twitter tweeted to Andrews "I can't believe I forgot your name haha."

What's wrong with the Cornhusker standout Prince Amukamara that he would actually admit to forgetting Erin Andrews's name? That's something a man never tells a woman, especially on Twitter, where the result is all over the Internet.

Andrews was not amused:

I'm not laughing..good luck on Thurs :) RT @PrinceAmukamara: I can't believe I forgot your name haha @erinandrews http://yfrog.com/gyllrawnj

But it was all in fun; it's a bet Andrews isn't losing sleep over it.

But Florida State's Christian Ponder just may still be awake.  He missed the EA event, as well as flying to New York City for the NFL Draft, and got teased for it by his buddy Mr. Gabbert, or "Sunshine," who took a photo with Andrews and later tweeted about it.

And this was Andrews' tweet:

Well, those were perhaps the most interesting Twitter tweet to come from Andrews' meetup with the top NFL Draft Prospects at the EA Sports party held Wednesday night.  There, Alabama's 2009 Heisman Trophy Winner and sure-fire 2011 NFL Draft 1st Round Pick Mark Ingram was introduced as the cover-boy for the game NCAA Football 12.

And as a note, this blogger wasn't there.  Thanks to Ms. Andrews' Twitter activity, attendance wasn't necessary and it made for a quick blog post!
