VUU to run the ball more in 2013

RICHMOND, Virginia  -- During the annual Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s football media day in July, an online viewer asked Virginia Union head coach Michael Bailey how VUU’s defense will look now having lost (Andre) Kates.

Bailey answered in part, “Kates is at the Ravens’ camp. The Ravens have to deal with him.”

Kates, a CIAA and second-team all-region player in 2012, was invited to the defending Super Bowl champions’ mini-camp as an undrafted free agent. Defensive end Kentrell Harris (Raiders) and defensive back Brian Smith (Jets) also attended mini-camps, although none of them advanced to training camp.

Forty-three former Panthers have played in the NFL or CFL, most recently two-time All-American David Mims, who is in camp with the Ravens.
