Two Frogs Taken in NFL Draft
April 27, 2003 Two TCU Horned Frogs were selected on the second day as the 2003 NFL Draft came to a close today. Wide receiver Adrian Madise was selected in the fifth round by the Denver Broncos and wide receiver LaTarence Dunbar was taken in the sixth round by the Atlanta Falcons. Madise, who was taken with the 158th selection overall, led the Frogs with 32 receptions for a team-high 524 yards in 2003, an average of 16.4 yards per catch. It was the second straight year in which he led the Frogs in both categories. He ranks 11th on TCU's all-time receiving yards list with 1,343, despite playing just two seasons for the Horned Frogs. The MVP of the 2001 season, Madise was invited to play in the 2003 Rotary Gridiron Classic.
Dunbar, who was the 196th selection overall, earned second team all-conference honors at both the wide receiver and kickoff return positions. He finished second in the conference and sixth in the nation in kick return average with a mark of 27.83 yards per return. He recorded a school record three kick returns for touchdowns during his TCU career, including one as a senior against Houston. He also finished eighth on TCU's all-time receiving yards list with 1,544. He was ninth in the league in all-purpose yards, averaging 97.4 yards per game. He was named the game's Most Valuable Player in the 2002 AXA Liberty Bowl.
