USA Today profiles: There isn't any simple way to link directly to the USA Today profiles because they're all part of a large embedded Flash file. Rather, you'll have to drill down a bit. Here's how: On the main NFL page at the USA Today site, first find the Draft logo in the left column (but not the left menu), just below the fold. Click on the link for "Sortable bios" which appears under that logo, then click on the desired position group, then, finally, click on the player's name.
