4 Eagles to the NFL

[Great Day To Be An Eagle]

Actually make that 5. EWU backup QB Jordan West signed a UFA deal with the Bears. A backup QB from an FCS school getting an NFL contract. What a world.

Still an accomplishment, but he only got an invite to rookie tryouts. If he impresses there then they will sign him to an undrafted free agent contract. That's not a done deal yet.

Rumor has it that Gustafson got the same offer from the Bears......

There's always the CFL if West doesn't make the cut. They seem to love EWU QBs up there. Like a quarter of the league has one of them as their starting QB.

9 teams, two have EWU qbs starting (although Winnipeg also had Drew Willy (I'm not going to go there), get significant time last year.

Calgary (Bo Mitchell)
Winnipeg (Matt Nichols)

Adams isn't the primary starter......yet...in Montreal. Mike Reilly, the top rated qb last year, went to Central Washington.

If Adams becomes primary starter, then it's more than a quarter. And that would make it almost half coming from Central and Eastern Washington. Crazy.

Took long enough, thats an average year for the Grizzlies.

Disinformation like this is what causes so much unneeded controversy on e-griz. Look it up for God's sake, the media isn't fake all the time.

FACT...so perhaps you should heed your own advice. The Griz have AVERAGED 4 players getting a shot at the NFL since 2010. In fact the Griz, and App state headed into this draft led the FCS in players drafted.

Media may not be fake....but you are.

Times are a changin, the number of griz guys on nfl rosters is declining not increasing. I'm talking about rosters not mini camp invites

Well EWU has had the best talent in the Big Sky in recent years....so not much of a surprise.

Really was an amazing run between '07 & '15....Biermann, Colt, Harris, Reynolds, Hilliard, Johnson, Carps, Coyle, Tripp, Mariani, Wilson, Holmes, McSurdy, Proctor, Farris, Green, Schillinger....and that doesn't even count the practice squad guys like Horn, Poehls, Roberts, Waggs, Sambrano, Jones, etc.

The run during those years was incredible no question, Bobby and Robin sent a boatload of guys to the league, I don't have the facts on this but i would guess thats easily the best for an FCS school.
