Made my evening.  That and the fact that the Bears addressed some significant needs along the OL & DL.

Highest-drafted D3 player in history.   Good luck to this young man!

Just curious, but with the start of the Canadian Football League this week, are there any players/coaches with a D3 pedigree...seems like a likely place for anyone who couldn't make it on an NFL Roster

After a Quick Scan of the CFL Rosters on their respective Websites I only saw two former DIII Players in the CFL:

Jasper Collins (Mount Union) - Hamilton TigerCats

Eric Rogers (California Lutheran) - Calgary Stampeders
National Champions - 13: 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2017

I think this is somewhat wishful thinking which I initially shared.   But with more reflection - think of the number of D1 players who go undrafted to the NFL and the number of D2.   Even though the CFL is a major step down from the NFL, there are still many players that played at 2 higher levels than our best at D3.    Don't get me wrong, I would love the inverse to be true.

Pat C ....I know you are busy researching Redlands Football,  but a quick update of D3 players in camps would be fun.

Thanks

Marpet debuts tonight with Bucs on NFL network. Kumerow doing well with Bengals and Franks fighting for the kicking job in Miami. I believe the Bucs also have a former Heidelberg player at WR.

Blanchard is also currently 3rd string on the Packers roster.

I watched Marpet this weekend. He did pretty well. One can tell he is getting used to the tackles being on him quicker, versus playing OT. He and the tackle did miss one stunt where they should have exchange rushers on a twist by the defense. He got off the ball pretty well, used his hands well and appears physical enough to play in the NFL. I can see why Tampa drafted him, given how well he moves his feet, nothing but upside from I saw and better than several young linemen trying to make the team.

I watched the Eagles this weekend. Bailey for Delaware sure looked good this weekend, strong hands. They said he would most likely make the practice squad. However I think there is a window when other teams can pick him up. It shall be fun to watch.
