Question-BYU OL
A while back there was a lineman that was had a sure NFL career. However he refused to play on Sundays and would not go. What was his name? I want to say that he played with John Tait but I could be wrong. He might had been drafted in the first round. Any help?

He was drafted by the Raiders. In fact, a few years later, his little brother Isaac was brought in to camp as a free agent. Al Davis told Isaac to tell Eli that Eli owed the Raiders money because he cost them a wasted draft pick that they could have used on someone else. Isaac told Mr. Davis that he should have believed Eli wasn't going to play. That Eli was a man of his word and that he doesn't owe him anything.

Re: Question-BYU OL
He is a high school teacher and coaches on his high school team. There was an article in the paper about him a few weeks ago. I can't remember which utah paper and don't remember how long ago. I think the school he is at is one of the utah county ones.scott715 wrote:Do you know what he does now? Did he go into coaching?

Re: Question-BYU OL
BTW, to prevent the myth from going too much farther, Herring was drafted in the 6th round, not the 1st.
He was projected as a 1st round pick, but the Raiders didn't take him until the 6th round because of refusal to play.
