My college roommate was drafted to the NFL in '96, but retired a few years later due to injury. His name is Ken Blackman, and was an OL for the Bengals. He even started. One of our friends was Bucs (formerly Colts) TE Ken Dilger. We went to his draft party in '95. He rented out the most popular bar on the Illinois campus, and gave away free beer to those invited. I also know Stryper guitarist Oz Fox. (80's hair metal Christian band, for those kiddies who have no idea)
