Watching offensive players who don’t score touchdowns might not make for a great highlight reel, but linemen can make an impression by showing up week after week, year after year. No one did a better job of that than Sam Young.
The 6-foot-8, 315-pound tackle started every single game of his Notre Dame career, setting a school record with 50 straight. Below, he discusses his longevity and the benefits of playing under Coach Charlie Weis.
Q&A With Notre Dame OT Sam Young
Chris Zardas is a local kid from Wakefield, Mass. who had a very nice career as a fullback at the University of Massachusetts. He is hoping to get a chance to play in the NFL and has had a nice postseason with a good Pro Day performance, as well as a nice showing at the Texas vs. The Nation All-Star game during which he scored a touchdown. He showed a lot of versatility in college as a blocker, receiver and running the ball and would seem to fit the Patriots use of fullbacks in that regard.
It’s a numbers game with a kid like Chris as the NFL limits the number of guys a team can take to camp. But his good showing, hard work and solid production during his college career may just get him the opportunity he needs. We had a chance to talk to Chris as he pursues his NFL career.
