Captain Kangaroo Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Baltimore decided to give it a go with another MAC product after Sunday's draft ended, signing 6-foot-7, 256-pound Western Michigan basketball forward Joe Reitz to a free agent contract.

johnnyzip84 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Sure, he's a long way from being the athlete that Gates is, but there's is no question he has the body/mentality for football. Makes me think of the numerous college hoops guys who went on to have significant NFL careers. The board is still a little slow, so here are a few names to get the ball rolling. For now I'm only listing guys who did NOT play college football, so this excludes Chief TE Tony Gonzalez.1) Preston Pearson - Steeler/Cowboy RB played b-ball at Illinois2) Gates - played something somewhere but I can't recall right now3) Sam Clancy - DE for Browns et al played BB at Pitt (and I'm pretty sure he played at old Fifth Avenue HS in Pittsburgh before it was closed in the 70's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
