i think that if schepp has another decent year he could very well be on that list. after kemme and alleman, he was probably the most reliable OL that we had on the roster. I could also see a few of our defensive players at least getting a shot on an NFL team.

I don't know if any of these guys are still rattling around or are officially done:
WR Lavel Bailey, WR Jake Schifino, WR Matt Cherry...also I'm drawing blanks on the names of our recent PK (@Dallas?) and FB (@Philly?) who had been on NFL rosters. The only former Zip I can think of who is retired after a "substantial" NFL career is Victor Green. I don't know that we had any old-timer players in the league back in the 40's-50's-60's. It is good to see that list of current players getting longer each year ! |

If anyone is bored, look around. As I can recall, it was somewhat amusing.

I believe the FB at Philly you might be thinking about is Jeremy Reader. I'm sure the last name is Reader....not as sure about the 1st name. He also played in the XFL for the SF Demons

That was Jamie Reader. I believe he had a couple of stints in the NFL over a period of years.

John Buddenburg was a 10th round draft choice of the Browns like 15-20 years ago.

QUOTE That was Jamie Reader. I believe he had a couple of stints in the NFL over a period of years. Of course you are correct, skip-zip. I remembered this early this morning. The interesting thing about Jamie is that he rarely even started in the Zip backfield. I remember him catching passes out of the backfield more than anything else. Chris Rooney certainly got to tote the rock more often. That old FB cross-buck counter play was a thing of beauty!!! -------------------- "Build it, and they can't tear it down.......not for a good 15-20 years anyway."

Jamie Reader was released by the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2002.
Matt Cherry reached an injury settlement with Baltimore back in 2006. Victor Green signed with the New York Jets in April 2006 so he could retire as a member of the team for which he played in 1993-2001. Jake Schifino was released by the Houston Texans in September 2006. Konrad Dean was waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars in August 2004. Ryan Myers was waived by the New York Jets on September 26, 2006. -------------------- Those who have invested the most are the last to surrender.

Stepping back a few years also had Robert Lyons and James Black suiting up for the Browns and I think K-P Darren Alcorn had a career in the Arena League
