Raiders fans are buzzing after the team released Tommy Mellott. Could he find a home with another NFL franchise?

Our colleague Traci Taylor had the big news for Griz fans over the weekend- Billings, Montana's own Junior Bergen was picked up by the San Francisco 49er's in the NFL draft. And- of course- huge news for Butte, Montana and Bobcat fans-Touchdown Tommy Mellott was drafted by the Las Vegas Raiders.

The future is bright at Montana State football.

With the NFL Draft quickly approaching, what are the odds that MSU's Tommy Mellott will be drafted?

This Saturday, Butte's "Touchdown" Tommy Mellott will lead the MSU Bobcats into Bobcat Stadium for the final time and, as expected, it is deep in the FCS Playoffs. Very deep. If the Bobcats beat South Dakota. Montana State will return to the National Championship game, a place they have been to before. In fact, had it not been for an injury to Mellott early in their last championship appearance many (including myself) believe the Bobcats would have won the game. But that is not the point. The point is that Mellott has brought the Bobcats back.

At the very end of our statewide radio show on Monday, I shared some incredible stats for Butte, Montana's own Tommy Mellott. The Montana State Bobcat quarterback was highlighted in a great writeup at Outkick.com
