Everybody is saying he's too small to be a DE in the NFL Blah Blah Blah....
I remember a "too small" Linebacker... The late Sam Mills.... He didnt have many problems getting his name in the paper....
Also, the "Too small" Lofa Tatupu on the Seahawks, a Pro Bowler every season he's been here...
I think Kroy could be the next Patrick Kerney... That would rock, but if he is placed at OLB, Im sure he will get his share of hits as well
Born A Griz in 75, Played under the stands of Dornblazer in 85, Moved to Seattle in 86... You can take me away from Montana, but you cant take the Montana away from me
Two Griz FB players drafted, wonder when that last happened...
I dont remember if it ever has happened .... Anybody have vids of the selections??? I didnt tape it cause I expected them to be free agents
I know the Griz have had at least 2 guys drafted before. There use to be about 12 rounds, remember. Pease and Rice both got drafted in 1987 is the only one that comes to mind instantly.

Outstanding post. I had the same thoughts about Tatupu as it relates to Biermann. Specifically, I thought about the Seahawks (Ruskell/Holmgren) approach to grading players. Yes, measurables matter, but how does the guy look playing football in the middle of November? Does he make plays on the field? Biermann's is exactly that guy.

A relative of mine is a special teams coach for the Falcons. I will have to keep in touch to see how Kroy is doing.
Yea, I was glad to see Tom did not move with the other Montana abandoneers. I had Tom as a Math teacher in HS and a coach until he left for USU. It was very disappointing to see him leave. Great guy. Glad to see him succeed.
