A fifth-round pick out of San Diego, Agnew had 11 interceptions among 59 passes defenses in his college career

Things didn't start out so well for Jamal Agnew on the day his University of San Diego football team had a chance to clinch its first undefeated Pioneer Football League season in 10 years.

Agnew, a fifth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in last month's NFL draft, got beat by Aaron Blockman for a 96-yard touchdown pass on the Toreros first defensive play from scrimmage.

When the senior cornerback got to the sideline, his team down 7-0, defensive coordinator Steve Irvin asked him pointedly if he knew what happened.
