Rhodes joins Bednarik watch list
University of Arkansas defensive end Quincy Rhodes Jr. was added to the watch list for the Bednarik Award on Thursday.
The Bednarik Award has been given to the college defensive player of the year since 1995. It is named in honor of Chuck Bednarik, a Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker and center who played his entire pro career with the Philadelphia Eagles and was known for his toughness, excellence and leadership.
Rhodes, a junior from North Little Rock, leads the SEC and is tied for fourth in the country with 5 sacks.
