4. GARRETT WOLFE, RB: One of Liz and my all-time favorite Huskie players. Third Round, 93rd overall in 2007.
When the Bears selected the 5-foot-seven running back in the third round in 2007, a lot of fans raised an eyebrow. Despite dominating the college ranks as an NIU senior in 2006, Wolfe did not have the kind of build for an NFL running back.
Wolfe never got consistent carries with the Bears, although he was a solid special teams player, and spent four seasons in the NFL
5. DOUG BARTLETT, DT: Los Angeles Rams, fourth round, 91st overall in 1987.
Bartlett, a member of NIU's 1983 MAC Championship team, didn't play a game for the Rams, but did play in ten cpntests for the 1988 Eagles, the team that lost to the Bears in the 1988 divisional playoff game known as the "Fog Bowl." I watched that game, sort of.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
