The line stretched from one end of the mall to the other.  About 1000 people were inline to see Corey Clement,  LeGarrette Blount, Trey Burton,  Tim Jernigan, Vinny Curry  and Rodney McLeod.  The players were paid to make an appearance at Dynasty Sports which is on the second floor of the mall. The fact that these guys will be playing in the Super Bowl  next week  was a factor in the crowd.

A the first players to arrive, Corey and Trey, they sat down and got right down to business. They signed a good number of helmets for the store and for collectors. The event was slated to kick off at 6:30 PM, but by 7:00 PM, all of the players had not yet arrived.  However, the line was orderly, with people just hanging out for the wait to meet them.
